| | Mosaic (genetics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Genetic mosaics can be extraordinarily useful in the study of biological systems, and can be created intentionally in many model organisms in a variety of ways. | | | In medicine (genetics), a mosaic or mosaicism denotes the presence of two populations of cells with different genotypes in one patient, where usually one of the two is affected by a genetic disorder. | | | Sometimes intersex conditions can be caused by mosaicism - where some cells in the body have XX and others XY chromosomes. |

| | However, tetraparental humans have been found that were mosaic for sex chromosomes as well; that is, some of their cells were XX; the other XY. | | | As this embryo developed into a fetus, both types of cells participated in constructing her various organs including her oogonia (but not, apparently, the blood stem cells in her bone marrow). | | | In some cases this mosaic pattern results in a hermaphrodite - a person with a mixture of male and female sex organs. |
