Best Answer

Tourette Syndrome is a dominant, inherited trait. Monozygotic (identical) twins who have the gene always express it jointly, although they may express it with slight differences. Fraternal twins, who are essentially just siblings born at the same time (they do not come from the same egg/sperm combination) would have varying chances of avoiding it depending on the combinaltions of genes.

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.

I have one set of twins and want to know what my chances are at having a second set of twins?

These chances are very unlikely. Once you have one set of twins, your uterus is so small that it is small enough for only one child. if you have a set of fraternal twins your chances of having a set again are high, i don't think uterus size comes into it. Fraternal twins are the result of 2 separate eggs being released (multi ovulation) and being fertilised by 2 separate sperm, fraternal twins run in familys but anyone can have them and the older you get the more likely you are to have a set of fraternals. Identical twins are the result of one fertilised egg splitting in 2 and this is completely random, identicals don't run in families
