I need someone who studies biology and genetics. Is a pig crossed with a chimp possible, I just read an article about this and the person who had the idea was someone with the last name MCkarther PH. D. it made the news.

The cross between two different species is called hybridization. The truth is that, for hybridization to occur, the species in question must have a certain kinship with each other, that is, they must belong to the same family of animals. An example is the cross between tigers and lions, pigs and wild boars, donkeys and donkeys, etc. Now, if there is no such familiarity between species, the truth is that hybridization will not be possible, which is the case of pigs and chimpanzees with each other.

•there must be variation for the particular trait within a population.

•the variation must be inheritable (that is, it must be capable of being passed on from the parents to their offspring).

•individuals with one version of the trait must produce more offspring than those with a different version of the trait.good
