Microchimerism is a form of chimerism in which a host harbors a small set of genetically distinct cells. This often happens with blood transfusion or transplants, but also during pregnancy due to the two-way cell trafficking between the mother and the foetus.
Recently, epigenetic chimeras have been discovered in mouse models.
Germline chimerism occurs when the germ cells (for example, sperm and egg cells) of an organism are not genetically identical to its own.
Marmosets almost always give birth to fraternal twins. They may have the reproductive cells of their (fraternal) twin siblings. Placental fusion during development in the womb is what causes this.

Petropedetinae
Petropedetinae are a subfamily of frogs.
They are placed in the true frog family (Ranidae) by many authors. Some think at least part of this group are a distinct family Petropedetidae. The Cacosterninae and Phrynobatrachinae are then separated as subfamilies. They may even be distinct families Cacosternidae and Phrynobatrachidae. Most members of this subfamily are in the genus "Phrynobatrachus".
These frogs mostly live in sub-Saharan Africa.
This group of frogs is made up from the following genera:
Pyxicephalidae
Pyxicephalidae is a family of frogs. They are found in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Pyxicephalidae has two subfamilies, with a total of 13 genera. This family was formerly considered part of the family Ranidae.
Family PYXICEPHALIDAE
Rhacophoridae
Rhacophoridae is a family of frog species. They live in tropical regions of Asia and Africa. They are commonly known as shrub frogs. Sometimes they are called '"moss frogs" or "bush frogs". Some Rhacophoridae are called "tree frogs". Among the most spectacular members of this family are numerous "flying frogs".
Most of the species are arboreal. This may include reproducing in trees. Mating frogs, while in amplexus, hold onto a branch, and beat their legs to form a foam. The eggs are laid in the foam. They are then covered with seminal fluid. Then the foam hardens into a protective casing. In some species, this is done in a large group. The foam is laid above a water source, so the tadpoles fall into the water once they hatch.
The species in this family vary in size, from to . Like other arboreal frogs, they have toe discs. This family has the Old World flying frogs, including Wallace's flying frogs("Rhacophorus nigropalmatus"). These frogs have extensive webbing between their hands and feet. This lets them glide through the air.

A bush frog can be one of two types of frogs. They are found in sub-Saharan Africa and one also in Asia:
Flying frog
A flying frog is a frog that has the ability to glide. Despite its name, it does not have the ability to fly. They live their life in trees, high above the ground.
Alfred Russel Wallace made one of the earliest reports of a flying frog. The species he observed was later described by George Albert Boulenger as "Rhacophorus nigropalmatus".
Flying frogs includes members of the following genera:

Issac made its passage along the Lesser Antilles on August 22.
On August 25 the storm made its first landfall on Haiti with winds of 70 mph.
Issac made its second landfall on Cuba with winds around 60-65 mph on the same day.

Sooglossidae
The Sooglossidae (Seychelles frogs) are a family of frogs. They are found on the Seychelles Islands and India.
All of the species are small land frogs, about in length. They hide under fallen leaves or in rock crevices. They lay their eggs on moist ground, rather than in water. One species lacks tadpoles, with the eggs hatching directly into froglets. The others carry the tadpoles on their back until metamorphosis.
The family was first described in 1931 by Gladwyn Kingsley Noble (1894–1940).
Strabomantidae
Strabomantidae is a family of frogs. They live in South America. These frogs do not have a free-living larval stage. They hatch directly into miniature "froglets".
Purple frog
The purple frog ("Nasikabatrachus sahyadrensis") is a frog species in the family Sooglossidae. It lives in the Western Ghats in India. Common names for this species are Indian purple frog, pignose frog or doughnut frog. It was discovered by S.D. Biju and F. Bossyut in October 2003.
This frog's body is shaped similarly to that of most frogs. It is somewhat rounded. It has a small head and an unusual pointed snout. Adults are typically dark purple in color. Its cry sounds more like one from a chicken.
The frog spends most of the year underground. It comes out only for about two weeks, during the monsoon. This is to mate.
