an organism containing a mixture of genetically different tissues, formed by processes such as fusion of early embryos, grafting, or mutation.
from the Oxford English Dictionary.
A hybrid organism containing animal and non-animal cells becomes an unrecognisable beast living amongst the natural order. This new generation enables bio-medical research to advance investigations, and transform them into existence through the creation of chimeras.
