👉 A bioherm is a term used in medicine to refer to an organism that has multiple copies of its genetic material. It is often used to describe organisms with two or more sets of chromosomes, which are present in their genome but not necessarily on identical pairs of chromosomes. Examples of bioherms include bacteria, fungi, and plants, among others. They can be found in the environment as a result of natural selection, where multiple copies of an organism's genetic material have been passed down through generations
