A user on a homework help forum is having trouble with how to solve this problem. She says she doesn't want the answer, just the info on how to solve it. Can anyone help?
I believe the established name for this hybrid is "zebrass." I saw them called that twenty years ago.
Through meiosis, two gametes are formed, which are haploid. That means they have half the number of chromosomes as the diploid cells. When they form a zygote, they add their chromosomes together. That means have the diploid number from the zebra, and half the diploid number from the donkey. 23+31= 54. The offspring will likely be infertile as their gametes will have 27 chromosomes.
