Chimerism—Genetic Imposters

Thanks to Among Us, we’re all familiar with the idea of secret intruders these days, but what if some of your cells were imposters? This video is about Chimerism, the phenomenon in which genetically distinct cells from different origins coexist in one body or tissue. Hope you like it! • My name is Rachel Mason and I am from a town outside of Atlanta, Georgia. I hope to study molecular biology in college so I can become a geneticist and study weird stuff like this! I love this kind of stuff because it really makes you think about the world around you and how things aren’t always what they seem. I had never heard of Chimerism before I read Carl Zimmer’s She Has Her Mother’s Laugh, which is why I wanted to share on this topic :) • Made for the Cards Against Humanity Science Ambassador Scholarship • DNA earrings by Abundantearthworks on Etsy • #science #scicom #edutainment #cardsagainsthumanity #scienceambassadorscholarship
