similar, yes. the biggest difference is that mosaicism occurs when cells are derived from a single fertilized egg, but carry distinctly different genetic information due to mutations that occur after the development of a zygote. chimerism happens when the different genetic information comes from two or more separate fertilized eggs, like twin-twin transfusion syndrome, which generally occurs before development. so technically, no, i didn’t eat my twin, my body just wanted to be special lmao
