Egg is a female ova (female gamete) which once fertilized becomes a fertilized egg.Each fertilized egg has an external protective membrane( hard shell in oviparous). Often two female gametes get fertilized and have a common protective membrane (hard shell in oviparous).This is why sometimes(rarely) an egg has two yolks inside.

It depends on the type of twins If It was identical (monozygotic) twins, one egg is fertilized (As you can see, identical twins have similarity in phenotype (the observable characteristic of an organism) because of development of one zygote divided into two embryos) but if it was non-identical twins, two eggs or more (such as triplets or quadruplets) are fertilized. The twins have differences in phenotype
