Also known as sexual mosaicism. A single animal has a mixture of parts (cells, tissues, and organs) with male genes and parts with female genes. It is seen in insects, crustaceans, spiders, sea urchins, and vertebrates such as pheasants, where half of the body is male and half is female. It is thought to occur during development when chromosomes are unevenly distributed during nuclear division or when somatic mutations occur.
