Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is an allograft transplant, as it involves a donated kidney from a genetically similar but not identical donor (in this case, Jose's sister). Autograft refers to a transplant where the donor and recipient are the same person, while xenograft involves transplanting tissue from a different species. Heterograft refers to a transplant between individuals of different species within the same genus.
