Why does he have external eyes, while her eyes are where he has nose?
Different species. Jar Jar is a Gungan, the lady is Queen Julia of Bardotta.
So which is the dominant gene and how would their kids turn out?
They might not even be sexually compatible
Not for lack of trying!
Yousa thinking… mesa pp gonna pry?
How are they gonna do it?
Oppa, Gungan style!
is that what different species means?
Explicitly yes, a species is where fertile offspring can be produced.
Well, most of the time, anyway. Biology is far too messy for that to be a hard and fast rule, as it turns out.
Yeah species is actually a made up concept with no grounding in empirical science. Scientists just decided to invent species to make their jobs easier.
What defines a species is whether or not the offspring of two individuals can have offspring.
A lion and a tiger can make, however Ligras are infertile, so they’re different species.
Nah that's not true. Haven't you ever heard of crossbreeding flowers? Plus there's an example very close to home in the interbreeding of sapiens and neanderthals
It holds up for most of the animal kingdom, at least.
Example: Grolar bears.
I mean, horses and donkeys can reproduce with each other. Doesn't mean their offspring will be fertile...
One eye in one eye out.
yes
So it's interspecies erotica?
You make it sound like that's a bad thing?
It's a movie reference.
Sexual dimorphism.
