Best Answer

Hybridization is crossing two varieties of the same or similar species through pollination or other natural methods to create a new variety. Genetic engineering is the process of artifically inserting a gene from one species into another species to create a new trait, such as inserting a bacteria gene into corn to create resistance to a pesticide. So, though some consider them to be the same, they are not. Hybridization is a completely different process than genetic engineering.
