hybridizes
Breeds across types
Hybridizes means to produce a hybrid—a cross between two different species, varieties, or types.
In biology, organisms hybridize when they interbreed across genetic lines: The two species hybridize where their ranges overlap.
The term extends to any blending of distinct elements: Her music hybridizes jazz and electronic sounds.
Also spelled hybridises in British English.
