Consider the following statements with reference to Chimera in Biology
A genetic chimaera is a single organism composed of cells of more than one distinct genotype.
Chimerism can result from twin or multiple pregnancies evolving into a single foetus or a twin foetus being absorbed into a singleton.
Micro-chimerism is the presence of two genetically distinct cell populations in an individual or organ.
How many of the statements given above is/are correct?
Only One
Only Two
All Three
None
All statements are correct.
Chimera in Biology
Recently the scientists have succeeded in producing a live infant chimeric monkey.
A genetic chimaera is a single organism composed of cells of more than one distinct genotype or genetic makeup.
Genotype refers to the genetic makeup of an organism which describes an organism's complete set of genes.
In a more narrow sense, the term can be used to refer to the alleles, or variant forms of a gene, that are carried by an organism.
Chimerism can also result from twin or multiple pregnancies evolving into a single foetus or a twin foetus being absorbed into a singleton.
There is evidence of individuals living with two blood types.
Microchimerism is a phenomena in which traces of the foetus’s genetic material are observed in mothers’ tissues many years after childbirth, resulting in two different genetic materials in a single person.
Hence option 3rd is correct.
