🦞🧬 Lobstermen caught a rare two-toned #lobster off the coast of #CapeCod and donated it to the #WoodsHole #Science #Aquarium.
This split coloration happens in roughly one in 50 million individuals when one fertilized egg absorbs another during development. The resulting #chimera carries two distinct sets of genetic information that affect shell pigmentation differently on each side.

A woman with chimerism has XX chromosomes except in her blood, where her chromosomes are XY--the result of genetic exchange with her twin brother while in the womb.

There's also the literal mixing between the fetus and the mother. Three now classic papers on this:
"Male Microchimerism in the Human Female Brain" 2012
https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0045592"Fetal microchimerism and maternal health: A review and evolutionary analysis of cooperation and conflict beyond the womb" 2015 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/bies.201500059
"Multipotent fetal-derived Cdx2 cells from placenta regenerate the heart" 2019 https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.1811827116
