What type of experiment involves mating two individuals with different characteristics to each other? One individual provides females gametes, while the other produces male gametes.

Hybridization experiment

Explanation:

Hybridization is a process of mating individuals of different species or individuals of the same species that are genetically dissimilar.

When the mating involves two individuals of different species, such hybridization is said to be inter-specific.

When the mating involves individuals of the same but genetically dissimilar species, such hybridization is said to be intra-specific.

The mating between individuals of different species of varieties results in hybrid offspring that may posses hybrid vigor but sometimes partially fertile or sterile.
