Instruction: Obtain Purpose: to build some background knowledge about one of the symbols in the novel. Tasks: Read the following information about mules • A mule is the offspring of a male donkey (jack) and a female horse (mare).[1][2]Horses and donkeys are different species, with different numbers of chromosomes. Of the two F1 hybrids (first generation hybrids) between these two species, a mule is easier to obtain than a hinny, which is the offspring of a female donkey (jenny) and a male horse (stallion). • A female mule that has estrus cycles and thus, in theory, could carry a fetus, is called a "molly" or "Molly mule", though the term is sometimes used to refer to female mules in general. Pregnancy is rare, but can occasionally occur naturally as well as through embryo transfer. - Thanks, Wikipedia! Outcome: Skim Chapters 1-4 for references to mules. What new understandings, conclusions can you draw?
