A horse is homozygous when it carries two identical copies of a specific gene, one inherited from each parent. This means that the horse will pass on that specific gene to all its offspring, as there is no variation in the gene.


How is a mule obtained and why can't it have offspring?

Mules are "obtained" by a jack (male donkey) breeding with a mare (female horse). Hinnies are offspring of a stallion (male horse) mating with a jenny (female donkey). Mules cannot have offspring because of the different chromosomal numbers between horses and donkeys. See the related questions below for more info.


What two species can produce an offspring but the offspring isn't fertile?

How are donkeys mules and horses related?

Donkeys and horses are closely related as they both belong to the same genus, Equus. Mules, on the other hand, are hybrids resulting from the crossbreeding of a male donkey and a female horse. This makes mules a mix of both donkey and horse characteristics.
