How Do Fraternal Twins Occur and Identical Twins Occur?
Fraternal twins (dizygotic twins) are simply two fertilized eggs that are implanted in the uterus at the same time. Identical twins (monozygotic twins) is one fertilized egg that separates into two embryos. In most cases, identical twins share one placenta, but have separate amniotic sacs. In some cases, they have two placentas. In rare cases, they share both the placenta and the amniotic sac.
Does 2 sacs and one placenta mean fraternal twins?
I am pretty sure because that is how my twins are at the moment that one placenta and two sacs mean identical twins more often than fraternal and more often identical if they are the same sex
Your friend is pregnant with twins they r in two different sacs and share a placenta and one is a boy and one is a girl?
They are dizygotic. Fraternal twins.
What is an abnormal membranous body sac?
A membranous sac is, as it says, a sac with a membrane. What it is specifically varies. Bronchi in the lungs are membranous sacs and the amniotic sac on a baby is membranous.
What has more oxygen air sacs or blood?
air sacs
If you are an identical twin do you share a bag of fluid inside the mothers womb?
That depends on the type of twins. Fraternal twins usually have separate amniotic sacs. Identical twins usually share the amniotic sac.
Do identical twins share the same amniotic sac?
It can be either. Sometimes they are in their own individual sac, and in other instances they share one amniotic sac.
If you have twins in separate yolk sacs is this good?
yes

Do twins have one amniotic sack or two?
If you mean identical twins, they can be in one sac (1) or each in their own sac (2). As for fraternal twins, they each have their own sacs (2).
Does a grasshopper have an amniotic sac?
Grasshoppers do not have an amniotic sac. Animals with amniotic sacs are mammals and birds that have a sac for the fetus to grow and gain nourishment from.
When do you begin to pee in the amniotic sack?
Pregnant women do NOT pee in amniotic sacs- the amniotic sac surrounds the baby, you pee in the same manner, same way and same place as you always have. If any pee is in the amniotic sac, it is from the baby.
Do kangaroos have amniote eggs?
No, it is a called a marsupium.The purpose of the marsupium is to protect the joey until it is old enough to live independently of its mother.
Does 2 sacs and one placenta mean fraternal twins?
I am pretty sure because that is how my twins are at the moment that one placenta and two sacs mean identical twins more often than fraternal and more often identical if they are the same sex
What is the genetic difference between identical and non identical twins?
Identical twins are formed by the separation of the same embryo containing same genetic coding. thus the the twins are identical as formed from the same embryo. But this is not the case in the non-identical twins as they are formed from the individual embro each having different genetic coding.
Your friend is pregnant with twins they r in two different sacs and share a placenta and one is a boy and one is a girl?
They are dizygotic. Fraternal twins.
How is identical twins created in the mother's womb?
With identical twins, one egg (zygote) from the mother is fertilized by one sperm from the father, and then very early in development the embryo splits and two fetuses grow. Spontaneous division of the zygote into two embryos is not considered to be a hereditary trait, but rather a spontaneous or random event. If the zygote splits very early (in the first 2 days after fertilization) they may develop separate placentas (chorion) and separate sacs (amnion). These are called dichorionic, diamniotic (or 'di/di') twins. While all fraternal twins are 'di/di', this occurs 20 - 30% of the time in identical twins. Most of the time in identical twins the zygote will split after 2 days, resulting in a shared placenta, but two separate sacs. These are called monochorionic, diamniotic ('mono/di') twins.These twins are very similar genetically, and share a single afterbirth. Very occasionally, twins will also share the same sac (fluid cavity). In about 1% of identical twins the splitting occurs late enough to result in both a shared placenta and a shared sac. These are called monochorionic, monoamniotic ('mono/mono') twins.
