If one identical twin is diagnosed as schizophrenic there is a high probability that the other twin will also have this mental disturbance?

How many eggs and sperm's are used create identical twin?
One egg, one sperm.
Is Asperger's Syndrome more common in twins?
I have not seen any studies on whether twins are more likely to have an autism spectrum disorder than single-birth children. It is possible that no one has done research on this. If one identical twin has an autism spectrum disorder, there is approximately a 90% chance that the other identical twin will. They might not have the same autism spectrum disorder or they might have the same disorder at different levels of severity. Many studies show the chance that they both have it if one twin does as somewhere between 82% and 97%. If the twins are fraternal (non-identical) twins and one has an autism spectrum disorder, the other has about the same chance of having an autism spectrum disorder as non-twin siblings do, which is greater than the chance of having an autism spectrum disorder in a family that does not have any history of it.
How can a mutation cause identical twins to look different?
Yes, in both cases.The mutation causes both of the identical twins to look different from the rest of the family.The mutation causes one of the identical twins to look different from the other twin. That is, the mutation happened shortly after the cells that gave rise to both twins divided.
Does twins start there period at the same time?
Genetics aren't the only thing to influence when girls start their period. It's entirely possible that one twin starts her period before the other (even if they are identical).
Can one female twin be infertile and the other female twin fertile?
Yes. I have an identical twin sister and I have had no trouble getting pregnant with my 2 children. My sister has been trying to conceive for 2 years now, and has been considered infertile. There is no explanation for it, and she has had several unsuccessful attempts with fertility treatments. It makes me very sad for her, and sad that the dream of raising our children together will never happen.
Can one of twin girls be infertile?
Yes, I'm afraid so, anyone can be infertile.
Is it possible for only one twin to develop autism?
Yes, it is possible. In one study, the chance that an identical twin has autism when the other does is 82%. That means that 18% of the identical twins did not have autism. It is much more likely that an identical twin will have autism if the other does than that a fraternal twin or other sibling will, but it does not happen every time.
What if one identical twin is diagnosed as schizophrenic there is a high probability that the other twin will also have this mental disturbance?
The other twin will develop it somewhat under 50 percent of the time.
If one identical twin is diagnosed as schizophrenic there is a high probability that the other twin will also have this mental disturbance?
Yes, the development of schizophrenia has a genetic component.
If a twin has diabetes do they both have it?
If 1 identical twin has it, the odds are higher than regular siblings that the other twin will get it. If 1 fraternal twin has diabetes, the odds are the same as if any of their siblings have it. But no, if one twin has it, that doesn't necessarily mean both do.
How do you tell a identical twin that has a twin that likes you too and ask one out on a date?
you don't have to tell the twin anything, they are separate people, just date the one you like. Tell the one you like that you think her twin is cool and leave it at that.... don't worry what the other may think.
Are identical twins identical?
Identical twins can be identical, but not all the time. Sometimes one may have a pointy ear ect. But they are still identical twins. Identical twins can supposidly feel what they're twin is feeling, like, if one twin were to be in panic, the other one may feel it too. Identical twins are also known to finish each others sentences and mirror each others movements. I'll use John and Edward Grimes for examples. (Sorry if you don't like them, but I am a big fan and know a lot about them and I can't think of any other twin examples that I can use) When they were babies, they slept in cots next to each other. One night, Edward pulled the blankets right over his head, and his twin brother, John Grimes, started screaming his head off until his mother came and seen what Edward had done. Identical twins usually chirp into their twins sentence. For an example of that go here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57ek7QPx2G4 You will find they keep interupting each other, I've heard that twins usually do that to gain attention, having a twin and all. Hope that helped. ^^

Does one conjoined twin feel the others pain?
Identical twins are very close to one another and they share a very close bond.If an identical twin feels the other twins pain is kind of like if someone you are really close with is in pain,then you are in pain as well for them.It's not like if you hurt one twin the other twin actually feels it.They feel empathy for the other twin. So NO twins do not phsically feel the actual pain of the other twin,they just feel the pain of empathy.
