A genetic chimerism or chimera /kaɪˈmɪərə/ ky-MEER-ə or /kɪˈmɪərə/ kim-EER-ə is a single organism composed of cells of different genotypes. Animal chimeras can be produced by the fusion of two (or more) embryos. In plants and some animal chimeras, mosaicism involves distinct types of tissue that originated from the same zygote but differ due to mutation during ordinary cell division.
