Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

A complete resorption of one partner is not the only outcome of fusion between genetically nonidentical partners; other physiological parameters may lead to separation between the partners, or to death of the chimera. A "stable ' chimera cannot be formed by heterozygotic partners which do not share in common all the alleles on the gene loci governing fusibility and resorption. -from Authors
