Monozygotic (Identical or Maternal) twins are identical because they came from the same egg and were split after conception but before fetal development. Identical twins have nearly identical DNA, however, environmental factors may switch genes on and off, differences are more pronounced as the twins age.
Dizygotic (Fraternal) twins are not identical. They are as different as any other siblings.
Identical twins result from a single fertilized egg splitting into two embryos, each carrying the same genetic information. This leads to the twins sharing nearly identical DNA, hence their resemblance.
The sperm was absorbed by the egg then after the egg split into 2 yet still carry same DNA
The twins were dressed in matching clothes, looking almost identical to each other.
Sure! Two identical twins look exactly the same because they have the same features like the same eye color and smile.
"Las gemelas" means "the twins" in Spanish. It refers to two sisters who were born at the same time and look very similar because they are siblings.
The twins bore a striking resemblance to each other, with their identical features and mannerisms.
Twins in Portuguese is "gêmeos" for male twins or mixed-gender twins, and "gêmeas" for female twins.
Identical twins. Although horses sometimes have twins I'm not sure if they have identical twins.
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.
the chances of having identical twins are about 1 in 300.
Twins are not necessarily identical. They can be fraternal as well. Identical twins result when one fertilized egg splits in two. Fraternal twins result from two fertilized eggs.
Identical twins, due to the fact that the one fertilized egg splits, have identical DNA. Fraternal twins, since they are from separate eggs, have different DNA.
Yes they are identical twins
