All the cells are divided into two when the egg is still in embryo form, then they completely separate and grow and develop. This is why even with identical twins they are never quite exactly the same as the other even though they share the same genetic coding.

Do twins have the same sexual orientation?

I know of two sets of twins, male, where one is straight and the other gay. One set is of identical twins, too. So, in my experience I would say, "not necessarily." On the identical set, the straight one was the first born. It has been my observation that the first born, at least of male identical twins, seems to be the more aggressive one of the two. No scientific basis for any of this - just my observations.

How do doctors to recognize identical or fraternal twins during pregnancy?

Identical twins are born when a single fertilized egg splits and develops into two fetuses. Fraternal twins are born when two separate eggs are released and fertilized. Identical twins take a long time to separate within the womb, and sometimes they don't separate entirely (conjoined twins). If doctors observe the two fetuses are connected at any point, that means identical twins. You can also do a DNA test on the amniotic fluid surrounding the fetuses. If there are two sets of DNA present, it means fraternal twins. If there is only one unique set of DNA, it means identical twins.
