Zonkeys are a crossbreed between a donkey and a zebra, but they are usually sterile because they inherit an uneven number of chromosomes from their parents, which leads to reproductive issues. This makes it difficult for zonkeys to produce offspring of their own.

Carnivores can exist in a plant free world if their prey would reproduce enough?

no because their prey will not have anything to eat so it will start to die and if they cant eat they cant live, if they cant live then they cant reproduce, if they cant reproduce then the carnivores will die. So to speak, if one thing in the food chain is gone most likely the whole chain is broken.

How many chromosomes would the zonkey receive from each parent?

The zonkey would receive half of its chromosomes from the zebra parent and half from the donkey parent, so typically 32 chromosomes from each parent (totaling 64 chromosomes). Zonkeys are a hybrid of zebras and donkeys, so they inherit genetic material from both species.


What are some living that that cant repruduce?

Some living organisms that cannot reproduce include certain sterile hybrids, such as mules, which are the offspring of a horse and a donkey but are typically sterile. Additionally, certain species of plants, like some cultivated varieties, may be bred to be seedless and thus unable to reproduce naturally. Furthermore, certain individuals in species, such as worker bees in a hive, are sterile and do not reproduce.

Why zonkeys are usually sterile?

I really have no clue where the last person got the information, but that's totally off. Zonkey's are usually sterile because the Zebra and the Donkey just weren't supposed to mate. But when kept in captivity together, they have no choice come mating season. The Zonkey just doesn't have the proper chromosomes or cells to reproduce.
