RE: Fusion of Twins and The Effects of Blood Transfusion

in #stemng7 years ago

Like greenrun this is the second time am hearing the word chimera but not in the genetic form, but in the form of a name in Nigeria.
Never knew such phenomenon exist

Apart from possibly having a skin (or fur) pigmentation which divides the body into right and left sides,

I was already doubting the chimera cat image like it was done through photoshop, but i think that cleared my doubt.

Tetragametic chimerism, the most rare of all types of chimerism, occurs when two eggs are each fertilized by a separate sperm.

Just take a look at me🤔, this is definitely not the first time am hearing chimerism, seeing this i remembered freemartinism in animals , most especially in cattle where during pregnancy the blood of two neigbouring foetus mixes and result to a baby with both male and female features, but this more of a reproductive disorder. Guess i need to do a revision on my undergraduate notes because i had to google it to confirm if i was right.

But this was cool, educative and interesting. Thumbs up.
Nice one bro.
Keep steeming.
