d. a donkey and a horse mate to produce a mule that is sterile and is unable to produce babies

Answer 1

Option D.

Example of a species is a donkey and a horse mate to produce a mule that is sterile and is unable to produce babies.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Species is the group of organisms that interbreed or have the potential of interbreeding in nature.
• Even if they look very different in appearance but interbreed then simply they are species.
• The organism that reproduce asexually cannot be mentioned under species.
• Some animals form naturally hybrid and mostly mate with their own groups.
• So donkey and horse mates to produce a new living, which is considered as the species.
