Luck. There is no way of having identical twins, let alone choosing the sex.
There are two primary types of twins, Identical and Fraternal.
Identical twins occur when the egg splits after fertilization. To date no indication of a genetic link has been found. Anyone has a chance, though small, of having identical twins.
Fraternal twins occur when more than one egg is dropped during ovulation. This trait can be inherited from the mother's side of the family. Studies have shown that the chances are also increased by being overweight or older. Fertility drugs also make this more likely to happen.
Any set of twins that are not identical (whether it's boys or girls or a combination of the two) are fraternal twins.
It means, "the female identical twins."
Yes. Conjoined twins are always identical (monozygotic) twins, and identical twins are always the same sex.There is a theoretical case where identical twins could be opposite genders, when the babies are female but in one of the females, a branch of one X chromosome breaks away; however, I don't believe this has ever been observed.
Identical twins. Although horses sometimes have twins I'm not sure if they have identical twins.
Just that, female conjoined twins. In some languages all nouns have gender, so in French, Les Jumelles Siamesienne, the enne suffix would mean female. By the way, conjoined twins, being also identical twins, are always the same gender.
If they were not then they would not be called identical twins!
Identical twins are formed from a single egg that splits into two. Fraternal twins are formed from two separate eggs that are both separately fertilized. So identical twins have identical DNA, and fraternal twins do not.
Twins are identical because they come from the same egg.
Identical twins are formed from a single egg that splits into two. Fraternal twins are formed from two separate eggs that are both separately fertilized. So identical twins have identical DNA, and fraternal twins do not.
Identical twins are formed when one fertilized eggs splits. Non-identical twins are formed when two separate eggs are fertilized.
The same as when you had the first set of identical twins.
No.
