Genetic engineering of any species involves directly changing the genetic code of the organism. This is done by taking out nucleotide bases out of the DNA sequence by using nuclease, then introducing the new DNA sequence into the host organism.

Would a wolf have cubs with a tiger?

No, they would not. Further to that, they could not. They are genetically too different to have a sterile child between them. (This is opposed to a horse and an ass which while different species can create sterile mules.)


Can woman get pregnant from horse?

No, a woman cannot get pregnant from a horse. While both humans and horses are mammals, they are not genetically compatible for reproduction. In order for pregnancy to occur, the genetic material of the sperm must be compatible with the genetic material of the egg, which is not possible between species.

Can a mini stud horse mate with a female goat?

No. Sheep and goats are close enough species-wise and if you cross them you get what is called a shoat. But horses and goats are too far apart genetically for a successful cross.


How do you know that greyhound and poodle belong to the same species?

A species is defined as a group of similar organisms which can interbreed and produce fertile offspring. Both a Poodle and a Greyhound are therefore of the same species, Canis Lupus Familiaris, as they are genetically very similar and can produce puppies which can themselves breed. An example of two species which appear very similar but cannot produce fertile offspring are the donkey and the horse. A donkey can mate with a horse and produce a foal (which is known as a mule), but this foal will be infertile and unable to produce its own offspring. Therefore, we know that a donkey and a horse are not of the same species, and that a Poodle and a Greyhound are.
