normally nothing will happen because the chromozones wont match up like a fish and a turtle say the turtle has 35 chromozones and the fish has 49 it just wouldn't match up their would be 14 left over comozones

∙ 14y agoThe term species is, in part, a definition of two classes of animals which cannot produce fertile offspring. If the two species are very different, they will not be able to produce any offspring. This is due to these animals having differing numbers of chromosome pairs. The gender of the parents is significant as well. A female horse mated with a male donkey will produce a mule. A male horse mated with a female donkey will produce a hinny. In this case, all (male) mules are infertile, and most (female) hinnys are as well. The same is true for Tygons and Ligers (mating lions and tigers).
If you were to breed two very different animals (e.g. a frog and a fox), you would get no result. The drastically differing chromosome count and genetics make it impossible for fertilization, and therefore embryonic development to occur.

Do Penguins mate with humans?
It is physically impossible for a human to mate with a penguin. They are two different species with no ability to produce an off spring by the fusion of their sex gametes.
If two organisms from two different species mate and produce fertile offspring how will that offspring be classified?
If it were possible - The new offspring would be classified under the male 'parent' animals bloodline.
What must happen in order for new species to evolve?
Reproductive isolation.If a species is divided into two groups, which cannot interbreed, then each group will gradually adapt to their new environment . Eventually the two groups will be so different that members from the different groups can no longer mate with one another and produce fertile offspring. This means that the two groups have become different species.
Can a roadrunner breed with a chicken?
A roadrunner can mate with a chicken but generally different species do not mate with each other. If the roadrunner and chicken did mate, the offspring would more than likely be sterile.
Can different species of worms mate and create a hybrid worm?
No that's not possible because different worms cant mate together. How could you not know that. I learned it last week and I'm in the 7th grade
Can dog and bear mate?
no two different species
Can two different species of deer mate or breed?
No, well yesish, but no
Can a robin and a blue jay mate?
No. The two species are too different genetically.
Can african lepoard geckos mate with a different breed?
No, two different species are not capable of laying fertile eggs with another gecko species.
What are 3 ways that a species may form?
They can be formed by evolution: A species can't survive in it's environment so it evolves into a more adapted species Two different species can mate: A new species can appear from the offspring of two different species.
Can a cat and human breed?
They are different species. Feline and a canine animals can not mate, and produce offspring.
How do new specie arise?
Because new species have to adapt to their newly acquired surroundings.
Can different kinds of crocodiles mate?
Yes, they are the same species. Its like when a tiger and a lion mate they may have a different classification but they are the same species.
Why do different mutations accumulate in two species once they diverge?
Because they can no longer mate and swap the mutation
How do you mate a male gerbil with a female rat?
It is impossible. They are two different species of animals and cannot interbreed.
What is meaning of interbreed?
It's when two different species or breeds of animals can mate, for example a dog and a wolf
Can different species of gouramis mate?
yes.
