Why must any differences between identical twins be controlled only by the environment?

Identical twins have the same DNA - meaning that without the effects of environment they would be identical in every single way.


What is the different of identical twin and flaternal twin?

IDENTICAL TWINS splash from 1 fertilized egg and flaternal twins splash from 2 fretilized eggs.identical twins have same DNA while flaternal twins do not have same DNA.


Which gender is homozygous?

Homozygous means "the same egg." That refers to identical twins. Identical twins are always the same gender since they have the same chromosomes.


Why indentical twins have the same features?

Identical twins, or in-fraternal twins, are the offspring that look exactly alike and are of the same gender, sharing the same exact genetic information. In-fraternal twins occur when a fertilized ovum (egg) has divided and each went on to become an embryo containing exact same genetic information.


Why can twins resulting from a single fertilized egg exchange blood or receive organ transplant from each other without rejection while twins resulting from two fertilized eggs sometimes cannot?

It is because identical twins resulting from the same fertilized egg (zygote) are actually the same individual. All the DNA in all their cells is 100% identical. They are clones. Transplantation between the two of them is equivalent to donating your own organs to yourself. Fraternal twins (from two separate zygotes) are not identical and are not the same individual. They are however more closely related to each other than they are to either of their parents.Twins resulting from one single fertilized egg carry exactly the same DNA. They are exact copies of each other (medically, anyway). Twins from two different eggs, although are twins, do not share the same DNA (since each egg carries different genes), hence are not completely compatible for organ transplantation (without additional immunosuppression).

What are the genetic priciples of identical twin case?

In the case of identical twins, a single embryo divides into two completely separate and genetically identical embryos. Each embryo continues to grow and develop individually, but with the exact same genes as the other.On an interesting side note: Children of identical twins are genetically as closely related to their parent's identical twin as they are to their identical twin parent. Genetically, both twins are the parent of the other's children. Also, their children are genetically half-siblings.
