WHAT DOES MOSAICISM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

mosaicism

Mosaic (genetics)

In genetics, a mosaic or mosaicism denotes the presence of two or more populations of cells with different genotypes in one individual who has developed from a single fertilized egg. The phenomenon was discovered by Curt Stern. In the 1930s, he demonstrated that genetic recombination, normal in meiosis, can also take place in mitosis. When it does, it results in somatic mosaics. These are organisms which contain two or more genetically distinct types of tissue. The term "somatic mosaicism" was used by C. W. Cotterman in 1956 in his seminal paper on antigenic variation. Mosaicism may also result from a mutation during development which is propagated to only a subset of the adult cells. Mosaics may be contrasted with chimerism, in which two or more genotypes arise from the fusion of more than one fertilized zygote in the early stages of embryonic development.

Definition of mosaicism in the English dictionary

The definition of mosaicism in the dictionary is the occurrence of different types of cells side by side in the same organism.
