#36half female, half male phenotype .
? > “The phenomenon arises from an error during female cell division to produce an egg, followed by double-fertilization by two sperm,” he explains. The bird is a chimera, with a different genome on each side of its body, one male (ZZ), one female (ZW).
Chimera is normally an organism formed by two normally fertilized fetuses fusing together. They've made goat/sheep chimerae, crazy stuff.

Yep; English tends to hold onto these archaic references. People also still talk about getting things on tape etc.
When I listen to an audiobook on my phone it feels natural to say I'm listening to the book on tape.
