Hybrid (biology) A mule is a sterile hybrid of a male donkey and a female horse. Mules are smaller than horses but stronger than donkeys, making them useful as pack animals. In biology, a hybrid is the offspring resulting from combining the qualities of two organisms of different varieties, subspecies, species or genera through sexual ...
The animal was a male measuring a little over eight feet [2.44 m]." This is the same description as given by Hicks. The 1951 book Mammalian Hybrids reported tiger/leopard matings were infertile, producing spontaneously aborted "walnut-sized fetuses". A tigard is the hybrid offspring of a tiger and a leopardess.
Hybrid speciation in animals is primarily homoploid. While thought not to be very common, a few animal species are the result of hybridization, mostly insects such as tephritid fruitflies that inhabit Lonicera plants [20] and Heliconius butterflies, [21] [22] as well as some fish, [15] one marine mammal, the clymene dolphin, [23] a few birds.
A human–animal hybrid and animal–human hybrid is an organism that incorporates elements from both humans and non-human animals. Technically, in a human–animal hybrid, each cell has both human and non-human genetic material. It is in contrast to an individual where some cells are human and some are derived from a different organism, called ...
Tigon. The tigon is a hybrid offspring of a male tiger (Panthera tigris) and a female lion, or lioness (Panthera leo). [1] They exhibit visible characteristics from both parents: they can have both spots from the mother (lions carry genes for spots – lion cubs are spotted and some adults retain faint markings) and stripes from the father.
Homo sapiens × Pan troglodytes. The humanzee (sometimes chuman, manpanzee or chumanzee) is a hypothetical hybrid of chimpanzee and human, thus a form of human–animal hybrid. Serious attempts to create such a hybrid were made by Soviet biologist Ilya Ivanovich Ivanov in the 1920s, [1] and possibly by researchers in China in the 1960s, though ...
Parthenogenesis (/ ˌpɑːrθɪnoʊˈdʒɛnɪsɪs, - θɪnə -/; [ 1 ][ 2 ] from the Greek παρθένος, parthénos, 'virgin' + γένεσις, génesis, 'creation' [ 3 ]) is a natural form of asexual reproduction in which the embryo develops directly from an egg without need for fertilization. In animals, parthenogenesis means development ...
