👉 Heterokaryotic is a biological term used to describe organisms that have two sets of chromosomes, one set located in each cell of the organism and the other set located on separate placentae. This means that there are two copies of each chromosome within each cell of an organism, but they do not reside on the same chromosomal segment as the other chromosome. These cells can be found in different parts of the body or in various tissues of an organism.
