The Vietnamese word "giao phối" refers to the biological process of mating or copulation between animals. It is often used in scientific contexts related to reproduction and breeding.

Explanation:

In simple terms, "giao phối" is when two animals come together to reproduce. This can involve mating between the same species or sometimes between different species (cross-breeding).

Usage Instructions:

• Example: “Chó và mèo không thể giao phối với nhau.” (Dogs and cats cannot mate with each other.)

Advanced Usage:

• Technical Context: In more advanced discussions, "giao phối" can refer to specific breeding techniques or genetic studies, such as cross-breeding plants or animals to produce desired traits.
• Example: “Giao phối giữa các giống hoa có thể tạo ra nhiều màu sắc khác nhau.” (Cross-breeding between different flower varieties can create many different colors.)

Word Variants:

• Giao phối tự nhiên: Natural mating
• Giao phối nhân tạo: Artificial insemination (a technique used in agriculture and animal breeding)

Different Meanings:

• While "giao phối" primarily refers to mating or copulation, it can also imply the act of combining different genetic materials, especially in agricultural or scientific settings.
