Want this question answered?
(Person that asked the question)-Once twins are born, and old enough to determine whether they are identical or fraternal, how do you know if they are identical, or just fraternal twins that look identical? I was just curious.
Non identical twins are formed when the mother releases two eggs and both those eggs are fertilised. hope this helps :)
Non-identical twins are more like normal siblings. Identical twins have the exact same DNA, so will be very similar in appearance. Their environment will cause them to have very slight differences, such as different fingerprints and freckles.
Eye colour is caused by genetics whereas the weight of a person depends on how they life their life (how healthily they eat or how much exercise they do) so it is an environmental variation. Identical twins have the same genes so have the same eye colour.
Identical twins are formed by the human egg splitting after being fertilized. The DNA also splits, and each new egg contains the DNA of the original. This means that the twins, once born, have identical DNA. It's worth nothing that they won't have the same physical fingerprint.
No. Identical twins are born anytime. No specific month.
On average, around 12,000 sets of identical twins are born each year in the UK.

Identical twins are born together, and look exactly alike.Nonidentical twins are born together, but do not look exactly alike.A good example of non identical would be boy and girl twins,
If you mean identical, then yes. The Sedins are identical twins (Henrik was born first).
There are differences in both DNA and fingerprints.The Claim: Identical Twins Have Identical DNA
Yes EVERYBODY has different DNA even if you are identical twins.

It Just Happens In The Women. It Is When 1 Egg Parts Into Two. That's Why They Are Identical Twins.
Depending on how they got identical genes, they may be clones (if it was done artificially, and they were born at different times), or if they were born at the same time, they could be identical twins. However, I don't think horses ever have twins.
