Question

A butterfly can mate with another butterfly to produce fertile offspring only if the two butterflies belong to the same

A) family.
B) genus.
C) order.
D) species.

Answer 1

D is the best answer because c and b have nothing to do with mating and being in the same family doesn't matter

Answer 2

The right answer answer is the same species.

* Pregygotic barriers prevent mating or ovum from being fertilized if different species attempt to mate. There are four barriers in this category.

* Postzygotic barriers occur after fertilization between different species. The hybrid zygote formed may be abnormal or infertile. There are three barriers in this category.

-The non-viability of hybrids

-The sterility of hybrids

-The lapse of hybrids
