There are examples of interbreeding between species with different numbers of chromosomes, including mammals. Horses and Donkeys crossbreed to produce mules, which are sterile. I'd never heard before about chimps having one more pair of chromosomes than we do. Interesting. How many do pigs have? It's been theorized one of our ancestors had pig DNA as to give us our nose protruding from our face.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youre kidding right? we could say the same about ANY animal with a protruding nose... the evolution of our noses is mainly down to climate and our ethnic group 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domestic Horse (64 chromosomes) x Donkey (62 chromosomes) = Sterile Mule Domestic Horse (64 chromosomes) x Przewalski's horse (66 chromosomes) = Fertile Hybrid 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
