What is the process by which an individual organism with an intermediate phenotype is produced from parents with contrasting phenotypes?

Evolution
Exaptation
Behavioral assimilation
Hybridization

The correct answer is: Hybridization

Hybridization is the process by which an individual organism with an intermediate phenotype is produced from parents with contrasting phenotypes. This means that the offspring has a combination of traits from both parents, resulting in an intermediate or unique phenotype. Evolution refers to the process of change in a species over time, whereas exaptation and behavioral assimilation are both terms used in the study of behavior rather than genetics. Therefore, these options are not relevant to the process described in the question.
