Chimeras are interesting organisms that have two different sets of DNA. Chimeras occur when two different zygotes fuse to form one organism. Some chimeras have no outward symptoms, while some have signs such as two different eye colors or two different blood types. This model shows how chimeras form. What roles do mitosis and meiosis play in the process?
