The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Cross**: The question asks about the cross between a donkey and a horse, specifically mentioning a hinny and a male. A hinny is the offspring of a male horse (stallion) and a female donkey (jenny). 2. **Identifying the Type of Cross**: This type of cross is known as interspecific hybridization. Interspecific hybridization occurs when two different species are crossed to produce a hybrid. 3. **Defining the Terms**: - A **mule** is produced from a male donkey (jack) and a female horse (mare). - A **hinny** is produced from a male horse (stallion) and a female donkey (jenny). 4. **Reciprocal Cross**: In this scenario, since we are considering both combinations (male donkey with female horse and male horse with female donkey), it is classified as a reciprocal cross. A reciprocal cross involves switching the sexes of the parents in two different crosses. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the cross between a donkey and a horse (hinny and male) is classified as a **reciprocal cross**. **Final Answer**: The type of cross between a donkey and a horse (hinny and male) is a **reciprocal cross**. ---
