Hybridization through artificial insemination has proved highly successful in improving the quality of milk, meat, egg and other animal products. 2. Improvement of human race. Laws of heredity postulated by Mendel are equally applicable to mankind. 3. Improvement of plants. Hybridization is used for obtaining improved varieties of plants. This process. results in combinations of desirable characters of two or more species or varieties. In other words, desirable characters of one species are transferred to the other. Laws of inheritance have helped the plant breeders in this regard. 4. Genetic counselling. It helps genetic counsellor to predict the possibility of hereditary defect in a future (unconceived child) and even detect genetic disorders in early foetus. 5. Disputed parentage.
