:Aleta you made a good start here. I made a few edits, not sure if it makes it too technical but sometimes using the real terminology helps. As for the mules I think we might want to put that in a different article. Heterosis is only referring to breeding within the same species (as far as I know). The reason for sterility in mules or ligers is that the donkey and horse (or lion and tiger) are different species. I'll come back and add some more.

:Oh, fair enough about the mules; I didn't think of that. Which is probably why I gave up biology and instead read history at university! [[User:Aleta Curry|Aleta Curry]] 23:13, 30 January 2009 (UTC) |
