Abstract
The progeny of a pair of dizygotic twin bulls were studied. Blood group phenotypes were identical but genotypically different, indicating a complete replacement of one of the bulls'' hematopoietic tissues by that of its co-twin. If the genes of one sibling were transmitted by the other the germ cells of the testes would be chimeric. Blood typing of 97 progeny provided no evidence to indicate the presence of such a germ cell chimerism.Keywords
