The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Term "Xenograft":** - A xenograft refers to a graft that is transplanted from one species to another. This is an important distinction as it involves different species rather than individuals of the same species. 2. **Defining Xenotransplantation:** - The process of xenotransplantation involves the transplantation of living cells, tissues, or organs from one species to another. This is where the term "xeno" (meaning foreign or strange) comes into play. 3. **Identifying the Correct Answer:** - From the definitions provided, a xenograft is specifically a graft between individuals of different species. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is that a xenograft is a graft between individuals of different species. 4. **Conclusion:** - Based on the understanding of xenografts and xenotransplantation, we conclude that the correct option is that a xenograft is a graft between individuals of different species. **Final Answer:** A xenograft is a graft between individuals of different species. ---
