a state where two organisms or parts of organisms can be mixed. Examples are when two plants can cross-fertilize; when two tissues can be added together, as in transplant surgery or blood transfusion; when two PLASMIDS can coexist in the same cell line. Animal compatibility depends on suitable matching of ANTIGENS and ANTIBODIES. See also SELF-INCOMPATIBILITY.
