Take the degu and the rat for example. The degu has 29 chromosome pairs Rats have 21 chromosome pairs. They are only share the same order ( Rodentia ) Would it be possible for them to reproduce?

( also , before someone says " they're not the same species , so obviously not" allow me to remind you of the mule , and the europeans have 1 - 4 percent Neanderthal )
