Yes, it is possible. It would be more common if the twins are fraternal that only one twin would be affected by the disease because it is a recessive trait, meaning both parents must be a carrier for the offspring to be affected. If the twins are identical and the tay-sachs gene is present, then boths twins will be infected because identical twins have identical DNA

How Do Fraternal Twins Occur and Identical Twins Occur?
Fraternal twins (dizygotic twins) are simply two fertilized eggs that are implanted in the uterus at the same time. Identical twins (monozygotic twins) is one fertilized egg that separates into two embryos. In most cases, identical twins share one placenta, but have separate amniotic sacs. In some cases, they have two placentas. In rare cases, they share both the placenta and the amniotic sac.

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.

How many calves are born per gestation in cattle?
One. Twins occur in one out of 1000 births.
How do you separate fraternal twins?
Fraternal twins do not need to be separated-- Siamese or Conjoined twins do. Because fraternal twins come from two eggs, they would never have a conjoined twin condition. Conjoined twins occur when an egg divides during the early embryonic stage, but fails to divide completely, resulting in shared body parts and organs.
What is The scientific name for identical twins.?
