Can an ant be the offspring of a fly Explain your answer.?

An ant is an offspring of a fly? I do not think so. Because a fly's biological structure is different from an ant's. Unless the fly is mating with an ant. It would happen but this particular ant (offspring) would have a few characteristics of the fly(a father/mum to the offspring). Like, the ant (offspring) may have wings and eyes like a fly. +++ That's a very curious question. The answer is no. Ants and flies are both insects but of totally different genus and species so neither could nor would mate.

If two different species reproduce and have children, then these children will not be fertile. E.g, when a horse and donkey reproduce together, then the offspring is called a mule. The mule will always be infertile, as will the offspring produced by cross-breeding of species. If two different breeds reproduce, then the offspring should share the characteristics from both breeds.
