If not, it might not be technically possible for them to interbreed at all, meaning that a Vulcan/Talaxian hybrid could never occur naturally, and also that Tuvix would probably be genetically incompatible with everything and everyone. Therefore, no species - only an anomaly produced by a freak transporter accident. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Keeponstalin@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago Of course he has tu, it's in the name permalink fedilink source parent [–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago we don't let tuvixen reproduce. it's in the charter. permalink fedilink source parent
