Plant and animal life that are not of the same species can mate. In plant life, this creates hybrid strains of plants, such as varieties of corn. In animal life, creatures such as the Liger exist. The Liger is a result of a lion and tiger mating and producing an offspring. A horse and a donkey mate to create a mule.

Why do animals only mate with the same type of animal?
Animals generally only mate with their own species due to ingrained behavior and the genetics of attraction. There are examples of inter species mating with similar species, especially if the population of one species is so depressed that the ability to find a mate of the same species is remote. This behavior occurs because the drive to reproduce is very high.
The type of reproductive barrier that occurs when two species mate but produce sterile hybrids is referred to as?
a post-zygotic barrier
What caused the development of two species of stickleback in the same lake?
Ultimately the sole cause of different species is restricted breeding. Males and females of one species will only mate with males and females of the same species. Now there may be a secondary factor that is the main cause, such as geographic isolation. The two species develop separately because there is a mountain range in between them and the males of each type can't get access to the females of the other type. But as you can see it is the restricted breeding that ultimately does it. Now for two species of stickleback in the same lake. It may be that the females are finicky in their chose of mates and prefer male with a certain colour pattern, or they prefer nests built at a certain depth which males have an inclination to build at different heights.
What is slight differences among objects or organisms that are all the same basic type?
VARIATION
Why birds have changed over time?
New birds have been produced, and difrent species mate with each other which makes a new type of bird. Some birds who mate with each other produce offsprings with dirffrent traits, size, or color.

All living oranisms have the same type of?
This is a population. More formally, a population is a group of organisms of the same species living in the same area at the same time eg the dandelions in a field make up the population of dandelions; the daisies in the same field make up a separate population, the daisy population. Species are different kinds of organisms which can breed with each other but not with other species eg humans are one species, chimpanzees are another and they cannot interbreed.
What is the difference between a species and a population?
A population is all the organisms that both belong to the same species and live in the same geographical area. A species is defined as a group of organisms capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring. There can be multiple populations of one species but a population only consist of one species.
What type of tree do you get out of a tree?
out of a species of tree another tree of the same species is made, so the same type of tree.
For what type of organisms is species a diffcult term to define?
Species are organisms that can breed and give rise to a viable offspring. However, mules (a crossbreed of a donkey and horse) cannot give rise to viable offspring after breeding. It is difficult to apply the term species when referring to such organisms.
What is the difference between species and organisms?
An "organism" is any type of living things like a cat,dog,bat etc. A "species" is the category they go in.
What is the scientific name of a single type of living thing?
The scientific name of a single type of living thing consists of a genus and a species name, known as binomial nomenclature. For example, humans are known as Homo sapiens, where "Homo" is the genus and "sapiens" is the species.
What are the three types of bio diversity?
Genetic Diversity: the sum of all the different genes in a particular species (species: group of the same type of organisms that can easily breed and produce offspring) -there are small variances in organisms of the same species (ie height, colour). These small differences can help the species to adapt to the constantly changing world. -may help survival rate of species (monoculture vs. rich diversity species) Species Diversity: variety of species and relative abundance to the species living together in the same area. Having the variety of species live together may contribute to their health and sustainability to the ecosystem. Structural (Ecosystem) Diversity: variety of habitats, the different species that live in that habitat, and the relationships that connect the different species together.
Do all living organisms possess the same type of cells?
No.
What is the difference a species and a population?
A species is a type of animal and a population is a group of the same species in a small area.
