Answer:

Tigers and lions able to mate to produce cubs,but those cubs would not be able to go on to produce any off spring because their sex chromosomes do not match.

Explanation:

Tigers and lions mate to produce ligers and tilons but they do not produce viable sperms or egg.
In an organism there are two copies of chromosomes present in the somatic cells.
But in case of sex cells they receive each set from mother and father. which they duplicate and divide during formation of gametes via meiosis.
in such case if the sets are recieved from two different species then after pairing a mismatch will occur in the gene loci.For example, a eye colour gene may correspond to a paw length gene.
Thus the gametes when produced will not be viable.

What types of organic molecules have the same molecular formula, but atoms that are joined together in different ways?

xenn [34]

The main premise of an isomer is that it is a molecule with the same molecular formula but some sort of difference between the molecule and the isomer. Geometric isomers have the same structure and vary differently, the other non isomer answers are red herrings really and so the correct answer would be structural isomer as these are molecules with the same formula but are structurally different or the atoms are arranged in different ways. Hope that helps!!
