How come alligators and crocodiles can’t make viable offspring? Isn’t the only difference between the two the snout?
In: 3
Here’s an analogy: How come I can’t take half the parts from a Honda Accord and half the parts from a Ford Fusion, and build a working car? They’re both 4-door sedans, and the only difference between the two is the brand on the front, right? Unfortunately, no. Even though both of them are trying to do the same job of “be a car”, and they both are based on the same original car (Model T or something similar), they’ve been gradually accumulating differences ever since they both split. Each of their new years’ models are based off making changes to their own previous model. Similar structure, but a lot of small differences means that most of their parts are probably not compatible without a lot of tweaking and customization.
