Why Can't Mules Have Babies?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 авг 2016
- Animals of different species rarely get it on, and when they do, they rarely produce offspring. But even rarer than the ligers, zonkeys, camas, and beefalo of the world are hybrid animals capable of making babies of their own.

Your description of miosis is wrong...students might get confused ...fix it ...don't edit a video like this with that much flaw
Sex cells are different they are formed by taking each set of chromosomes then swaping a bunch of cards( crossing over in profaze-1 stage of Miosis-1) between decks... then they decks splitting up(miosos 1) ..... then each of deck duplicate them and they break up....and in this way it creates 4 cells where each of them has 1 complete deck of cards...

Yeah when you finally find an interest in the subject and you ask into it you get dismissed, told that you shouldn't waste your time on it cause it wont be in your test.
Thank you educational system for stopping my desire to engage in an academic subject.
You just have really crappy teachers then, each wednesday we had discussions on the subject, but actually, they always drifted off into other subjects.
it's incomplete example, bcz they explain why two spices can't cross, but don't explain why horse + donkey is OK (though result is sterile offspring).
Just because they didn't show the information in your head with a silver platter, doesn't mean they didn't teach this at school. Stop trying to be edgy you 13 year old and go and learn in school.

"When the chickens have teeth"
Geese: 👁👁
Also there was that chicken that was genetically modified to grow reptile teeth or something
@@Cheesepuff8 yikes
That's a pretty good explanation for mule sterility, and I'll add to that:
Mules also have an odd number of chromosomes. You see, a horse has 64 chromosomes, while donkeys have 62. That leaves mules in the middle with 63. Because it's an odd number, it can't split evenly for sexual reproduction. The video kinda touched on that with the "different deck of cards" analogy. :)
Also on that note, the total number of recorded cases of a female mule giving birth within the past 500 years have been 60. Let that sink in: 60 in 500 years, versus millions of mules within that same time span. That's why it's just easier to say that mules are sterile, without having to explained just how miraculously rare it is for a molly (the word for a female mule) to be fertile.
Thanks for this very interesting information. I really enjoyed reading it! :-)
when it does give birth is it a baby mule or a baby donkey or horse?
THANK YOU FOR EXPLAINING THIS! I have been googling all morning long for a short, clear-cut answer lol
Sorry to show up 9 months late, but I am a bit confused as to why hybrids such as Pomarine Jaegers and Lonicera flys are still able to breed like normal. I doubt that rare thing that happens to mules is happening every time the Jeager or the fly breeds.
yeah, there's lots of hypotheses about hybrid male sterility. this video, i think, focuses on one (the Dominance Hypothesis for Haldane's Rule).
So your telling me....

It would be an interesting fuck, but yeah probably
So... Mary Jane won't be a mother. Sad

Big cat hybrids are strange because all male hybrids are sterile, while females are fertile (though they have cubs pretty infrequently). I've personally always wondered if it were possible for the descendent of a big cat hybrid of a liger for example to have perfectly normal lion descendants, and how many generations it would take before the male descendants of said hybrid to regain fertility, or if they would at all. Like how many generations would it take for that one tiger ancestor to just not matter in the bigger genetic picture.

So... if a female mule were to produce a foal with a horse, it would end up being a horse?
Hi KvaGram! Very clever - and the answer is likely yes, although we don't have documented proof that that has happened.
How has that not happened yet? And if it has why wasn't it documented? Q.Q
I don't think I'm going to the gym today and I'm still not sure what the actual number one in a while ago but the fact is a good time with the new version is better to be the first half of the day after a long day at the same thing to say it is not the same thing to say it is not the same time and it was the best of the day after a long day at the same time and it was the best of the best way of the best thing to say that you are the only thing is a good time with the best thing to say it to be the same thing as the first half of the day before my eyes
The looks and temperament of that foal would potentially be different than if, instead, the mule's horse mother mated with that same stallion and had a foal with the exact same DNA.
I just looked up "hinny" because I remembered that being mentioned in a book I once read as somehow related to donkeys and mules, but didn't remember how. Well, mules come from a male donkey and a female horse, hinnies come from a female donkey and a male horse, and they're worth distinguishing because not only are hinnies rarer but they also tend towards somewhat different phenotypes than mules do.
Apparently, researchers think this is probably due to two main things: 1.) Genes from different sources being expressed differently-- meaning, I believe, genes from a male parent versus a female parent being expressed differently even if they're otherwise the same; I could be wrong though, I didn't look into it further. This, of course, doesn't apply to our two theoretical foals, who would have identical genomes from effectively the same source. 2.) Conditions in the womb-- such as, say, the size of the womb, and any differences in the hormones running through it (even the same mare could have different hormone conditions in one pregnancy than the next, but the difference between species would be much, much greater). Which certainly would apply.
So the foal would be a horse, but might not be the horse its genetics would suggest. Given the precedent of mule versus hinny, this could wind up assigned a new name of its own.
Of course, I'm not at all an expert. This should all be taken with a grain of salt.
What would be really interesting would be to see if it bred true. Potentially it could... different womb size and other conditions in the resulting horse than if the mule had never been involved could lead to the same general result in the next generation, which could be stable or could get less and less over further generations.
So, thank you KvaGram for accidentally causing this thought experiment.
Well when you apologize to my mule , like I know you are going to,see he gets this crazy idea you was laughing at him😂

And then there are those rare cases where the parents still are genetically close enough for the resulting hybrids to somehow still be fertile, like, I think, with some bears, as well as with some canine combinations
they are hybrids within a species not with a other species.
nope. I'm not just talking about dog+dog but also, say, dog+wolf, etc. I think Grizzly + Polar bear has a pretty surprisingly high success chance of causing fertile offsprings.
Kram1032 That is because they are not a different species a dog and wolf are the same species called Canis and a crizzly and polar bear are also the same species called Ursus. they are a variation or we classify them as races not different species.
Dingoes are classed as separate to dogs but they breed with domestic dogs all the time.
That's incorrect. Their genus is the same but the species is not.
And don´t forget... there have been chickens with teeth.

john ferguson and also God didn’t make the mule
The chicken having teeth is actually a french expression.
The more I see the more convinced I am that evolution has to be incredibly clever designing genes so well.
I'm curious to find out how a hybrid could sort its genes to allow for hemiclonal transmission. Could it be an instance of a sex cell being lucky and just ending up that way, or is there more to it?
Such a great alternative to 'first'
I'm not sure I agree. You're probably right in the end, but I would like to try an order of magnitude calculation of possible gametes vs. number of hybrids ever. I'm sure that the former is much much higher, but just wanted to investigate it before I check it off the list.
Makes me wonder how often this occurs with non-hybrids. Was it ever observed there? Given that there isn't somehow something super special about hybrid species specifically that allows for this, it ought to happen with essentially any species.

wait, if a female mule who is fertile always passes on the mom's horse genes, can a female mule give birth to a pure horse if the dad was also a horse?
If the dad was also a horse, then their offspring wouldn't be a mule, but a horse
Heh.
Wait, I think what was meant is if a mule mated with a horse and the mule's mother was a horse then the mule will sometimes give birth to a horse.
I have no idea.my brain hurts.from genes and female mules giving birth is impossible wtf is going through my head.
Kitty Kat when a male horse reproduces with a female donkey, their offspring is called a hinny rather than a mule. these are far less common and there’s only ONE recorded hinny that’s given birth o_o

mudskippers climb trees..kinda if jumping to a low branch on a mangrove counts
0:37 all of these have happened surprisingly! Mules very very rarely have foals, the occasional tornado or human intervention can cause pigs to ‘fly’, all amniotes are descended from fish so a monkey is technically a tree climbing fish, and many birds had teeth in the Cretaceous!
What I learned is that you don't have to pull out if you have sex with other species
I never knew that mules were a mix of a horse and a donkey. I thought mule was just another word referring to a donkey. I always heard the idiom, "stubborn as a mule." And thought it referred to just a donkey. Very cool to learn.

A jenny is a female donkey. (Jacks and Jennies). Horses are stallions and mares.
A cross between a jackass and a mare is a mule, while a stallion and a jenny is a hinny.
My friend didn't know this... He learned this fact for the first time today...
Yes. You were the only one
Nope
I'm Turkish and I've never heard of fish climb trees saying in my life
Indeed. Not accurate at all. We have David Goldenberg (Script Writer) & Emily Elert (Script Editor) to blame for that one I guess. :)
Never heard of it too but "untill the donkey returns from water" might be more accurate ^^
"Balık kavağa çıkınca." which I've never heard of before either.
Me either. Bende ilk defa duyuyorum o sözü 😀
I've never heard the phrase either. But I'm not Turkish.
Not all miles look that great but there are some really pretty mules!!! ^^ I hope to have one one day!
Pigs do fly when we transport livestock on airplanes, all terrestrial vertebrates are technically fish, and the ancestors of chickens had teeth. (French people also say "when chickens have teeth")
0:34 its possible for checkens to have teeth cuz checkens hold an anciant gene that comes from dinosaurs and only scientists can activate it and make checkens have teeth
Edit: i meant chickens but im keeping that XD
wot
Star Kangaroowi it’s chickens
C H E C K E N
Exactly what I was thinking
OH MY GOD FUCKING DUMBING, WOW YOUR SO _DUMBING_
Chickens actually have teeth, but due to epigenetic factors, they are shrunken down to a minuscule size where they are fused together and thus become unnoticeable.
0:26 It is funny that in Portugal we have all those sayings
I know I'm late but, for people wondering, yes some hybrids can have babies like the pizzly or golar bear which is the hybrid of a polarbear and grizzly, same with coywolves the hybrid between wolves and coyotes
"When pigs fly" is a achevement in Minecraft when you ride a pig down a 5 block deep cliff.
Lmao I'm Nigerian but I've never heard anyone say that
SAME
Onyinyechi Ikwuanusi aparently no one has. lol
Me too
Onyinyechi Ikwuanusi you must have been born and raised outside of Nigeria, we say it a lot!
I was raised in America and my parents say it all the time!?
We say "When red snow falls in white "drops"!, here in Hungary. Yes, we say flakes normally but in this idiom we use drops, like we would talk about the rain and not the snow. Quite a mess, just like when pigs fly or fish climb trees.
Newfoundland, Canada. We say "scarcer than hens teeth" instead of "rare" lol
