A sterile organism is unable to reproduce or produce offspring. This can be due to factors such as genetic abnormalities, physical deformities, or other conditions that prevent normal reproduction.

Can two different species produce a sterile organism offspring?

Yes, when two different species mate, they can produce a hybrid offspring that may be sterile. This can happen because the parents may have different numbers of chromosomes which can lead to infertility in the hybrid offspring. An example is a mule, which is a hybrid offspring of a horse and a donkey, and is usually sterile.

Are sterile water and sterile distilled water the same?

no. Distilled water has had all chemicals and minerals removed, usually by steaming and re-condensation. Sterile water has been treated, usually heat treated, to destroy pathogens (any living organisms). So, you can sterilize distilled water, but not all distilled water is sterile. manufacturing criteria do NOT require that regular distilled water be packaged to prevent contamination. Water sold as sterile water must be packaged to avoid contamination. On the other hand, water full of minerals can be sterilized; the minerals are still present. So if you want mineral free, organism free water, you need sterile distilled; if just mineral free, distilled.
