Aha, species is one of the most problematic and contentious definitions of the scientific community. Generally, each species has a distinct gene pool and can not produce viable offspring by mating. A mule (the offspring of a male donkey and a female horse) is a well known exception to this rule, and while viable, is usually sterile. However, other sterile hybrids are known, especially in birds and plants, where they are often called a 'mule' as well.
What else can I help you with?
What are the offspring of two different organisms called?
The offspring of two different organisms are called hybrids. These offspring inherit traits from both parent organisms.
What happens when two organisms from different species reproduce?
When two organisms from different species reproduce, they produce offspring that are a combination of traits from both parents. This process is called hybridization, and the resulting offspring may have characteristics that are different from either parent species.
The offspring of two different varieties is called what?
The offspring of two different varieties is called a hybrid. This term is often used in the context of plants or animals that have been bred from two different species or subtypes.
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.
''A hybrid is crossed between two species'' - true or false?
True. A hybrid is the offspring resulting from a cross between two different species.
What is the name of a offspring of two different species?
A hybrid
What is the name of the offspring of a first cross?
The offspring of a first cross between two different breeds or species is known as a hybrid.
What are the offspring of two different organisms called?
The offspring of two different organisms are called hybrids. These offspring inherit traits from both parent organisms.
What is the name of the offspring of two of the same species?
Twins.
What do you call the offspring of animals?
The offspring of different animals are known by different names- for example the oppsring of a Lion is called a cub, that of a cow is called a calf and so on.
What happens when two organisms from different species reproduce?
When two organisms from different species reproduce, they produce offspring that are a combination of traits from both parents. This process is called hybridization, and the resulting offspring may have characteristics that are different from either parent species.
Can a cat and human breed?
They are different species. Feline and a canine animals can not mate, and produce offspring.
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.
The offspring of two different varieties is called what?
The offspring of two different varieties is called a hybrid. This term is often used in the context of plants or animals that have been bred from two different species or subtypes.
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.
What is Porduced when individuals of different species interbreed and produce offspring?
If the two species are even able to produce offspring, then the offspring would be a hybrid. For example, a donkey and a horse breed to make a mule. Due to the definition of "species," the offspring would either be infertile, inviable or both.
Why is it a genetic thing that muels cant have babies?
because a mule comes from a female horse and a male donkey, which are two different species, the mule will be sterile. This is because it is a general rule that if two animals of different species have offspring, their offspring will not be able to reproduce
