Mules are considered hybrids, not a separate species. Mules result from the joining of gametes from a female horse (n=32) and a male donkey (n=31). For EACH CONCEPT, explain whether it would suggest that a mule is a separate species or not a separate species.

Mules are considered hybrids, not a separate species. Mules result from the joining of gametes from a female horse (n=32) and a male donkey (n=31).

Define hybrid. What would the diploid (2n) number be for the mule that would be produced in the mating of the female horse and male donkey described above?

Mules are sterile, meaning they cannot produce gametes of their own. In terms of chromosomes, explain why this could be.

For each concept, explain whether it would suggest that a mule is a separate species or not a separate species.

Hundreds of different dog breeds have been recognized, and you have probably already identified your very favorite breed! Historically, dog breeds have been traditionally grouped together as one species. However, there is an ongoing debate about what actually defines a "species." This week, you have learned about several different species concepts (each defining the term "species" based on different criteria.) Refer to the Morphological Species Concept, the Biological Species Concept, and the Phylogenetic Species Concept in your discussion about whether all dogs from all breeds should be grouped as one species.
