Oh sure, when people cross a lion and a tiger, it's okay, but when I cross mosquitoes with peregrin falcons it's a "crime against nature"!

Seems like the overall morphology of the hybrid tends toward the maternal specie. Also wondering why tigons and ligers look so different.

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

You just answered the question yourself :)

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

I guess I'm just wondering why it works that way, you'd think the genetics would be the same as it's a 50/50 blend of each.

We're MUCH closer than many other species that easily hybridize. But some very closely related animals can't so...

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

What's the determining factor? Is it number of chromosomes?

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

That and the physical composition of the chromatids, as well as quirks at the cellular level (ability for sperm to adhere to or attach) etc.

Unfortunately humans wiped out our closest relatives with the aid of resource competition & disease leaving all other apes too distant.

Actually, the way the DNA comes together, it gets growth genes from both the Tiger side and the Lion side, resulting in enormity.

9 years ago | Likes 12 Dislikes 0

Oi, scroll one left, whats the first word on that chart? That's right, enormity.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I thought that because it has both growth genes and given they have different loci, the inhibitor is disabled (something like that)

Kinda. You're thinking of the tigon. The male lion has the gene so the tigon grows much larger than any male lion or liger.

They're also sterile, must like most hybrid animals.

If I'm not mistaken, the males are sterile and the females are not.

Females can have offspring, Males never have.

9 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 2

They have to be sterile otherwise they would be a species in there own right. The def of species is if they produce fertile offspring

9 years ago | Likes 16 Dislikes 7

That's the biological species concept. There are many many more concepts that define what a species is and how they're formed

I wish I could upvote you more ppl seem to think there is only one concept I always tell people if that were true my parents are 2 species

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Right?? Nature is teleological! It'd be hard to encompass the diversity of life with just one theory =)

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Not entirely. Some species are defined by physical or social boundaries that don't allow them to mate naturally with other similar species.

9 years ago | Likes 17 Dislikes 0

Well those would be considered the pre-zygotic and post-zygotic reproductive barriers. So you're quite right!

Pure bison are actually really rare. They only exist in places like northern Montana. Most bison in the US today are crossbreed with cattle.

Better than beef. Most places you can find it, its actually just a mix of ground beef and buffalo. The beef sort of ruins it.
