Is a mule a tetrad?
No a mule is not a tetrad, this is due to the fact that the mule has 63 chromosomes. Mules are a hybrid between the horse and the donkey, and are unable to reproduce due to the uneven number of chromosomes.

How many chromosomes does a donkey have?
The mule has 63 chromosomes. A donkey has 31 pairs and a horse 32 pairs so the mule or hinny inherits 31 from its donkey parent (usually the father) and 32 from its horse parent. The fact that the donkey has fewer chromosomes than the horse is thought to be the reason why hinny-breeding (where the father is the horse) is more difficult, resulting in a high rate of spontaneous abortion. If two species are to be crossed, therefore, the male should be the one with fewer chromosomes.
How many chromosomes in a hen?
The answer is 63. A stallion (male horse) has 64 chromosomes and a jenny (female donkey) has 62. The sterile progeny of these two has only 63 chromosomes (same as a mule, which is the offspring of a mare [female horse] and a jack [male donkey]). The 63 chromosomes cannot divide evenly so neither the hinny nor the mule can reproduce.
How many chromosomes does an animal sperm have?
n/2 where n is the total number of chromosomes normally present in that animal.For example humans have 46 chromosomes in a somatic cell, and 23 chromosomes in a germ cell (sperm / egg).Different species often have different numbers of chromosomes. In fact different numbers of chromosomes are why a donkey and a horse can mate to produce a mule, but the mule cannot reproduce.
Is a male mule fertile?
Yes, because of a mule's odd number of chromosomes it is considered infertile, although female mules, rarely, can give birth to a mule if it has mated with a pure-bred horse or donkey.
How many chromosomes do mules have?
Mules typically have 63 chromosomes, which is a combination of 32 chromosomes from horses and 31 chromosomes from donkeys. This uneven number of chromosomes in mules makes them sterile because they are unable to produce viable gametes during reproduction.
Will hybirds reproduce?
Hybrids cannot reproduce due to chromosome numbers. An example can include a horse and a donkey. When each animal provides a gamete with a haploid number to make a mule, the mule ends up 63 chromosomes. That is an odd number. When the mule has to make its own gamete, the 32 chromosomes cannot pair with 31 donkey chromosomes. Thus, meiosis fails and gametes cannot be reproduced.
What is the diploid number of a mule and why is it that they are infertile?
The diploid number of a mule is 63. Mules have an odd number of chromosomes (63) - which means that the chromosomes do not pair off properly. This causes problems with meiosis, which is the process that creates the gametes (sex cells) that will be involved in sexual reproduction. This is why almost all mules are infertile. Mules are the result of a cross between two species. By definition, the offspring from two different species cannot be fertile. However, there are a few very rare cases of a female mule having a viable offspring.
How many syllables in mule?
Mule has one syllable.
Do horses have more chromosomes than donkeys?
Horses have 64 chromosomes while donkeys have 62, thus a horse has two more chromosomes than a donkey. (For the record a mule has 63 a mix of the horses and donkeys numbers.)
Why donkeys are infertile?
The offspring of a horse and a donkey is called a mule. The mules are usually infertile because they have 63 chromosomes.
