Listed are the genotypes of the colonies that either physically resorbed the other colony(ies) in the bi(tri)chimeras or were expressed within the somatic and gametic tissues of the chimera 2 months after fusion. /, both members of the chimera were still present 2 months after fusion. Two letters together indicate that the tissues expressed both genotypes. >, the genotype to the right of the symbol represents a minor component of a tissue.
