[Clonedzero]

nope. dextro amino acid biology of taurians would make it impossible i believe.
i doubt any races can have babys with other races aside from asari.

[WizenSlinky0]

Yes. It's called adoption.

[Bearcut]

Biologically, it comes down to alot of things, besides amino acid chirality. Number of chromosomes is probably the most important. There are very very few species on earth that can have intra-species offspring, the only one I can think of is Donkey + Horse = Mule, but Mule's are sterile since they have an odd number of chromosomes due to horses having more chromosomes then donkey's.

Grab a biology textbook.

I believe turians and quarians are dextro-DNA, while the rest of the alien races are the opposite. Can they have "babies" with the other species? Probably not, it just doesn't work that way, no matter your DNA similarities.
The only one that is confirmed are asaris with any race. But then again they are 100% asari and both gene codes are from the mother, the second one is just slightly modified from the "father" gene.

[Black Raptor]

Only Asari are able to breed with the help of other species.

...I refuse to believe this is serious.

....It's called a Broodmother, even if it's male.

Actually there are alot of things on earth that can Hybridize.

Humans and Chimps spring to mind (though it requires artificial insemination, and even then is unlikely to be sucessful.)

Llamas and camels as well I think, though not 100%, many of the big cats can hybridize however.

There has never been a successful human and chimp hybrid.  Never. Not even with artificial insemination.

Don't crush his dreams just yet. There may one day be a successful artifical insemination! 

Maybe in a few million years, but there's still...hope? Or is it despair? Whichever seems appropiate.

I'm thinking despair.

Dude why i don't doubt the Llama's and camel thing, because I don't know, I know for a fact that humans can NOT breed with anything but Humans. We may have very similar DNA to chimps, but we also have very similar DNA to a fruit fly, or a green bean. I'm not going to state my qualifications on the internet but trust me, I know this to be fact.

Anyway yeah back to the ME thing, the Codex in ME2 has a good explanation about Asari melding. One of the cool things I always liked about Bioware is the biology in their games are pretty accurate and they do a good job and explaining the fictiony stuff without "magic".

The one thing I disagree on is the chirality. I mean, when we take drugs, like aspirin, 50% is the D-Isomer and 50% is the L-Isomer. The Dextro part doesn't kill us, it just doesn't work. Almost all drugs are like that. It's too damn expensive to optically purify things in large amounts. I'm just saying if you were in a bar and drank a dextro drink, it might give you an upset stomach, but I doubt youd have a severe enough reaction to die. Besides, is ethanol even possible to have different optical configurations? It's a pretty small molecule. My organic is a little fuzzy.

To clarify:

I wasn't trying to say things rarely hybridize -
On this planet, plants, birds, dogs, cats, fish, exc are often genetically matched on purpose. Usually within the same family and genus.

I was saying that breeding has a lot more to do than just DNA similarities.

[N7Armada]

Yea only Asari can cross breed and that's only because they use the other to fill in the genetic code not actually fertilize or anything

Examples of hybrid animals

• Hybrid Iguana, a single‐cross hybrid resulting from natural interbreeding between male marine iguanas and female land iguanas since the late 2000s.
• Equid hybrids
  
• Mule, a cross of female horse and a male donkey.
• Hinny, a cross between a female donkey and a male horse. Mule and hinny are examples of reciprocal hybrids.
• Zebroids
  
• Zeedonk or Zonkey, a zebra/donkey cross.
• Zorse, a zebra/horse cross
• Zony or Zetland, a zebra/pony cross ("zony" is a generic term; "zetland" is specifically a hybrid of the Shetland pony breed with a zebra)

[*]Bovid hybrids

• Dzo, zo or yakow; a cross between a domestic cow/bull and a yak.
• Beefalo, a cross of an American bison and a domestic cow. This is a fertile breed; this along with genetic evidence has caused them to be recently reclassified into the same genus, Bos.[citation needed]
• Zubron, a hybrid between wisent (European bison) and domestic cow.

[*]Sheep-goat hybrids, such as the Toast of Botswana.
[*]Ursid hybrids, such as the grizzly-polar bear hybrid, occur between black bears, brown bears, and polar bears.
[*]Felid hybrids

• Savannah cats are the hybrid cross between an African serval cat and a domestic cat
• A hybrid between a Bengal tiger and a Siberian tiger is an example of an intra-specific hybrid.
• Ligers and Tiglons (crosses between a lion and a tiger) and other Panthera hybrids such as the lijagulep. Various other wild cat crosses are known involving the lynx, bobcat, leopard, serval, etc.
• Bengal cat, a cross between the Asian leopard cat and the domestic cat, one of many hybrids between the domestic cat and wild cat species. The domestic cat, African wild cat and European wildcat may be considered variant populations of the same species (Felis silvestris), making such crosses non-hybrids.

[*]Fertile canid hybrids occur between coyotes, wolves, dingoes, jackals and domestic dogs.
[*]Hybrids between black and white rhinoceroses have been recognized.
[*]Hybrids between spotted owls and barred owls
[*]Cama, a cross between a camel and a llama, also an intergeneric hybrid.
[*]Wholphin, a fertile but very rare cross between a false killer whale and a bottlenose dolphin.
[*]A fertile cross between a king snake and an corn snake.
[*]At Chester Zoo in the United Kingdom, a cross between an African elephant (male) and an Asian elephant (female). The male calf was named Motty. It died of intestinal infection after twelve days.
[*]Cagebird breeders sometimes breed hybrids between species of finch, such as goldfinch x canary. These birds are known as mules.
[*]Gamebird hybrids, hybrids between gamebirds and domestic fowl, including chickens, guineafowl and peafowl, interfamilial hybrids.
[*]Numerous macaw hybrids are also known.
[*]Red kite x black kite: five bred unintentionally at a falconry center in England. (It is reported[weasel words] that the black kite (the male) refused female black kites but mated with two female red kites.)
[*]Hybridization between the endemic Cuban crocodile (Crocodilus rhombifer) and the widely distributed American crocodile (Crocodilus acutus) is causing conservation problems for the former species as a threat to its genetic integrity.[11][clarification needed]
[*]Blood parrot cichlid, which is probably created by crossing a red head cihclid and a Midas cichlid or red devil cichlid
[*]The mulard duck, hybrid of the domestic pekin duck and domesticated muscovy ducks.
[*]Killer bees were created in an attempt to breed tamer and more manageable bees. This was done by crossing a european honey bee and an african bee, but instead the offspring became more aggressive and highly defensive bees that had escaped into the wild.
[*]In Australia, New Zealand and other areas where the Pacific Black Duck occurs, it is hybridised by the much more aggressive introduced Mallard. This is a concern to wildlife authorities throughout the affected area, as it is seen as Genetic pollution of the Black Duck gene pool. [/list]Hybrids should not be confused with genetic chimeras such as that between sheep and goat known as the geep. Wider interspecific hybrids can be made via in vitro fertilization or somatic hybridization, however the resulting cells are not able to develop into a full organism. An example of interspecific hybrid cell lines is humster (hamster x human) cells.

And knowing is half the battle.

Oh. Well. I apologize my good sir.
Sorry I guess i'm getting testy without PSN. But it back up now!! WHOOOO!!!!

Heh. I actually got the N7 Elite during the outage so I guess it's not a bad thing. I used to think Insanity was impossible.

[Leonia]

No. You can't mix levo and dextro DNA.

Besides they are practically mortal enemies of one another.

You can have a Turian and a Krogan mind meld with the same Asari then have some kinda Springer-in-Space thing where you find out which one is the Father. Thats about as close as you're gonna get.

...

And the answer is its Shepard's baby.
