Different species can sometimes interbreed to produce hybrid offspring. For example, the breeding of a horse with a donkey produces a mule. However, these hybrids are usually sterile. A horse will produce gametes with 32 chromosomes, and a donkey will

produce gametes with 31 chromosomes, resulting in a mule with 63 chromosomes. Using your understanding of meiosis, propose a reason why mules are sterile. What will be an ideal response?
