👉 Hetero-carpism is a biological phenomenon where two or more genetically related cells (carp) are fused together to form one new cell, which is called a heterotroph. This process occurs in plants and animals, but it can also occur in bacteria. In hetero-carpism, the carp cells are genetically identical to each other, while the parental cells have some genetic differences. The heterotrophic cell is often used as a model organism for studying genetic variation and evolution.
