Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An allograft is a type of organ transplant where the donor and the recipient are genetically different but belong to the same species. In this case, Madison and her sister are siblings and belong to the same species, but are genetically different. Therefore, Madison giving her kidney to her sister is an example of an allograft. Autograft is a type of transplant where the donor and recipient are the same individual. Isograft is a type of transplant where the donor and recipient are identical twins. Xenograft is a type of transplant where the donor and recipient belong to different species.
