- Linear combination of atomic orbitalson an atom. Hybrid orbitals are often used in organic chemistry to describe the bonding molecules containing tetrahedral (
), trigonal ( ) and digonal ( ) atoms. - The formation of stableduplexes of two DNA and/or RNA (complementary) strands via Watson-Crickbase pairingused for locating or identifyingnucleotidesequences and to establish the effective transfer ofnucleic acidmaterial to a newhost.
- The formation of a novel diploid organism either by sexual processes or by protoplastfusion.
