Horses and donkeys can breed and produce sterile offspring known as mules. Horses and donkeys remain separate species because of
this hybrid sterility, which is a(n) Group of answer choices post-zygotic barrier to reproduction. sympatric barrier to reproduction. pre-zygotic barrier to reproduction. allopatric barrier to reproduction. good thing.
The correct answer is ''post-zygotic barrier to reproduction''
Explanation:
Biological barriers prevent the exchange of genes between two or more populations, a postzygotic reproductive barrier reduces the survival or reproduction of hybrid offspring. In hybrid non-viability there is low survival of the hybrid, especially during embryonic stages. On the other hand, the sterility of the hybrid occurs when the fertilized egg develops into a healthy but sterile adult. Segregation of aneuploid gametes during meiosis, different gene associations occur on the chromosomes of the parents.
