Are nieces of sisters related?
Some nieces of sisters are related to each other and some are not. Your niece is the daughter of your brother or sister (your siblings). If you have more than two siblings and at least two of them have daughters, those daughters are your nieces and they are first cousins to each other. You can also have a niece who is the daughter of a sibling of your spouse. If two sisters have nieces who are daughters of their spouse's siblings, those nieces are not related to each other (unless the spouses are related to each other, as when two brothers marry two sisters)
How is a fraternal twin different than other twins?
Fraternal means "brother-like." Identical twins result from a single fertilzed egg dividing into two separate embryos so the twins share all DNA. Fraternal twins result from two different eggs being fertilized by two different sperm at the same time. The babies are then born at the same time, but only share 25%of their DNA with each other, which is the same amount that siblings born at different times share. The word fraternal used in social organizations, like "the fraternal order of"...refers to the thought that the members are like brothers to each other. Modern french uses the word frere to mean brother.
