Most dominant predator in the sea?

Question

What would happen if scientists managed to genetically engineer/ or get a great white and killer whale to mate, would you end up with a mammal or a fish as a baby?

If this creature was created, would it be the most dominant predator in the sea?

Answer 1

well i guess it all depends on genes.

Killer whales have mm(mammals)

Sharks Have ff(Fish

if it has FF then its fish,MM mammel, FM fish, MF mammal.

i would guess it would be since killer whales and sharks are two of the most dominant then this creature would be the most dominant creature

Answer 2

Well, I'm sure you're aware that a killer whale is closer to a dolphin than an actual whale.  But a great white Shark is a regular fish, though it's interesting that some sharks, including great whites, actually give live birth to their kids, they are called pups, and nurse them for a time.  So in that fashion, they are similar to killer whales.  But the genetic differences (including different numbers of chromosomes, are so great, I think it would be impossible to get a hybrid of any kind.

That being said, I REAL shark the size of a whale, existed say 60 million years ago, and I'm sure was the most dominant predator on Earth.  I think this Killer Shark, would find itself on top of the food chain as well.

Answer 3

I suspect that this mating is impossible.  The shark is a fish, and the orca is a mammal.  Sharks do not have bones, but orcas do.  Sharks have gills, and orcas have lungs.

The differences are so great that mating is probably impossible.
