Hybrid Inviability and Hybrid Sterility

State

Hybrid inviability is a postzygotic barrier where a hybrid fails to survive to maturity; hybrid sterility is where a surviving hybrid cannot reproduce.

Show

A hybrid embryo that dies before birth shows inviability, while a mule, viable but sterile, shows sterility instead.

Watch for

Inviability blocks the hybrid from surviving at all — sterility lets it survive but blocks reproduction, a different failure point.
