Solution

Allopolyploid is formed when the gametes from two different species will come together and form a viable offspring. This offspring will have the genetic make-up for two different species, which makes it a different species.
Mules is one of the example which is formed as a result of the fusion of a diploid male donkey and a diploid female horse.
