Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An isograft is a tissue graft between two genetically identical individuals, such as identical twins. Therefore, choice E is the correct answer. Autografts involve a tissue transplant from one area of an individual's own body to another, allografts are between genetically different individuals of the same species, xenografts are between different species, and intergrafts refer to a tissue transplant between different races or breeds within the same species. None of these terms apply to tissue transplants between genetically identical individuals, which is why E is the correct answer.
