Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a graft of tissue or marrow is taken from an individual and returned to the same individual, this process is an autograft. An organ, tissue, or marrow transplant from one individual to a genetically identical individual is known as an isograft. A graft between two genetically different individuals of the same species is an allograft. A graft between individuals from two different species, such as a pig heart transplanted into a human, is a xenograft.
