what happens with a donor organ’s DNA after a successful transplant?

2.21K views

My assumption is that over time the organ regenerates new cells with the host’s DNA. Or do the two stay distinct for life, or do they merge into a mix of the two? If they stay separate, is there a definite boundary, and does the host’s future offspring bear the DNA of three bloodlines instead of two?

To add to the existing replies:

*does the host’s future offspring bear the DNA of three bloodlines instead of two?* If you got a gonads transplant, your offspring will bear the DNA of the donor. If you are male and only transplant one of your goands, I’m not sure what happens.
