isologous chimera
A chimera that is formed by cells or tissues from two different organisms which have the same genotype.
Such a case is difficult to recognize in humans; however, it might occur when the blood of monozygous twins (identical twins that originate from a single fertilized egg) mixes in utero; or the hollow muscular organ in the pelvic cavity of a female, in which the embryo (baby) is nourished and develops before birth.
