It is the name given to a living being who has half the body as male and the other half as female (technically called bilateral ginadromorphia). It has characteristics of male on one side and female on the other. It rarely occurs in some birds and is recognized for having symmetrically different shapes or colors in species of sexual dimorphism. It also occurs in insects and crustaceans.
Term of biology, from Greek gyné, woman, aner andrós, male and morfé, form. It is said of living beings with juxtaposed sexual characteristics of the male and female either in lateral asymmetry, on the one hand male and on the other female, or in genetic mosaic. The phenomenon, whose cause appears to be in the chromosomal division, occurs mainly in insects, in some crustaceans and in birds.
