Question

Mule is a product of ________

• A. Mutation
• B. Breeding
• C. Intraspecific hybridisation
• D. Interspecific hybridisation

Answer 1

The correct option is D Interspecific hybridisation

Mule is a product of interspecific hybridisation. In this method, male and female animals of two different related species are mated. In the same cases, the progeny may combine desirable features of both the parents and maybe of considerable economic value. A mule is an offspring of a male donkey and a female horse. A female donkey and a male horse produce a hinny.
