I wasn't familiar with this term used in a botanical sense,
so I looked it up and found:
"an individual, organ, or part consisting of tissues of
diverse genetic constitution"
Would a person with one blue eye and one brown eye be
considered a 'chimera' in this sense of the term?
*Why* would this happen within an individual organism, such
as one apple tree or one tomato plant?
