Unlike the single baby, this fertilized egg cell will split into two separate embryos, and grow into identical twins. This remarkable event takes place during the first week after fertilization, and can happen at several different times:
- At the two cell stage on days 1 to 3
- At the early blastocyst stage on days 4 to 6
- Or in the late blastocyst stage on days 7 to 9
The stage at which the egg cell splits determines how the twins will implant in the uterine lining, and whether or not they share an amnion, chorion, and placenta. Basically, the earlier the splitting occurs, the more independently the twins will develop in the uterus. So, a pair of identical twins that split during the two-cell stage will each develop its own amnion, chorion, and placenta.
Twins that split during the late blastocyst stage will share an amnion, chorion, and placenta.

They are called identical twins.

What is The scientific name for identical twins.?
Identical twins (monozygotic) occur when a single egg, fertilized by a single sperm, splits into two identical halves. Two separate babies with identical DNA are formed. Identical twins are always the same sex and blood type. http://www.twin-pregnancy-and-beyond.com/identical-twins-or-fraternal-twins.html
What is the difference between idetical and non idetical twins in the way they are found?
The difference between Identical and Non-Identical twins is that Identical twins share the same placenta and are basically identical to one another. Non-Identical twins do not share the same placenta in the womb and two eggs fertilized at time of conception as opposed to one egg splitting in the case of Identical twins. I think that covers the basics. Hope this has clarified things for you.
Can you have one last cycle after conception?
no because the egg should have been fertilized , a period is when the egg hasn't been fertilized and needs to leave the body
How will i know am having twins in my pregnancy?
Fraternal twins are the product of two separate combinations of ovum and sperm at the same time, resulting in genetically different children with a shared womb.Identical twins are the result of one ovum-sperm combination, which then splits into two separate children who are genetically identical.If the two children born from one pregnancy are genetically near 100% identical (with consideration for mutations and genetic alterations after the split or post-natal), they are identical.If the two children have closer to normal sibling genetic similarity (around 50%) but just share a birth time, they are fraternal.Also, identical twins share the same gender. If twins are of different gender, they must be fraternal (though fraternal twins can be same gender as well).
Is a zygote part of the female reproductive cell?
A zygote is formed from the egg cell contributed by the female parent and an sperm from male parent. The fertilized egg is called a zygote, therefore, zygote is definitely a part of female reproductive cell.
What is identical and what is fraternal?
Identical twins come from the same fertilized egg; fraternal twins come from 2 fertilized eggs.
What is the difference fraternal and identical twins?
Identical twins come from the same fertilized egg; fraternal twins come from 2 fertilized eggs.
How are identical twins genetically from fraternal twins?
Identical twins are genetically the same, because they come from the same fertilized egg/sperm cell zygote, which happens to split into two viable zygotes. Fraternal twins, however, come from two different egg/sperm cell zygotes, that are concurrently fertilized and remain viable.
What is it call when twins are fertilized into two separate cells?
Dizygotic twins. If they were fertilized in the same egg, they would be called monozygotic twins.
Can twins be two different races?
Of course; identical twins are fertilized from the same sperm and egg, whereas fraternal twins are fertilized from different sperm and egg; thus, fraternal twins would resemble each other no more than regular siblings born at different times.
Do identical twins have to be the same sex?
Yes. Identical twins come from one fertilized egg that has been split in two. Therefore, whatever sex the single egg would've been, the twins will be.
Are non-identical twins occur when egg cells turns into embryos on their own?
No, non-identical twins are fraternal twins. They are created when two eggs are fertilized at the same time and become embryos. Identical twins are when a fertilized egg splits into two on its own.
When a fertilized egg divides?
you get twins :)
Are monozygotic twins opposite sex?
No, monozygotic twins would be the same sex. Monozygotic twins come from one single fertilized egg, or zygote, which then splits to create two separate zygotes which will be genetically identical, or "identical twins", which will always be of the same gender.
How does a girl give birth to twins?
The fertilized egg is divided into two fertilized eggs, and they both become twins.
How are twins identical?
Twins are identical because they come from the same egg.
Do fraternal twins develope from a single fertilized egg?
No.
