it has nothing to do with the father of the baby AT ALL! it depends on the Mommy's body. you have to either produce 2 eggs (which means fraternal twins) or have 1 egg that splits into 2 (which is identical)... all that depends on the father is whether or not he fertilizes both... though those genes can pass onto your children.
In the general population, the odds of having twins are about 3 in 100, or 3%. They seem to increase in relations to the mother's history, among other factors, but not the father's history.
The odds of having identical twins are not affected by personal history of either parent. Identical twinning is a random event that occurs about 1 in 285, or about 0.35%.
It is very rare to have identical quadruplets
3 out of ten
The odds are 7/10
Its at 50/50 chance... The twin or female double egg is what causes twins... its on the woman's side of the family..
actually u have a greater chance of twins then
Having twins is based on probability. There is not a 100% chance you will have twins.
Women who are themselves fraternal twins have a 10% chance of producing twins, identical twin women have only a 0.6% probability of having a twin birth.
Of course, anything is possible. But, most usually, twins skip generations. So, a twin may be the grandparent of twins, rather than the parent.
People who have had twins stand a better chance "statisticaly" of having twin again then those that did not have twins.
The mother carries the twin gene and can pass it onto her children. However, only her daughters can give birth to twins. Her sons can inherit the twin gene and pass that onto their daughters, who can give birth to twins. But her sons will only become fathers of twins if their wife has the twin gene. So the chances of having twins if your husband is a twin is not possible unless you have the gene. However, if your grandfather passed the gene to his daughter (your mother) and she passed the gene to you, then, yes you could have twins if your grandfather is a twin.
If one is expecting twins and is wanting to know the odds of twins being two girls the probabilities are that one would have about a 25% chance. It is stated that there is a 50% chance of having one of each or a 25% chance of having twin boys.
the statistics of twins marrying twins having twin children is only a slight fractional increase in percentage of chance. it is almost negligable however the slight increase has lead many people to believe the common misconseption of twim marraige resulting in the birth of more twins alot.
twins are passed down through the mother's genes.
Well, as an identical twin myself, I believe there is a one out of twelve chance of having identical twins, although, I'm not 100% sure....
Yes.
