What type of transplant is an allograft?

  1. Between genetically identical donors

  2. From a donor to a genetically different individual within the same species

  3. From an animal to a human

  4. From one site to another in the same individual

The correct answer is: From a donor to a genetically different individual within the same species

An allograft is a type of transplant that involves transferring tissue or organs from a donor to a genetically different individual within the same species. This means that the recipient and the donor are not genetically identical, distinguishing an allograft from a transplant between genetically identical donors (choice A), from an animal to a human (choice C), and from one site to another in the same individual (choice D).
