Twins who delevelop in separate amniotic sacs?

Twins who develop in separate amniotic sacs are known as dizygotic or fraternal twins. This means they were conceived from two separate eggs fertilized by two different sperm cells. Dizygotic twins can have different genetic makeup and are no more similar than siblings born at different times.


How do doctors to recognize identical or fraternal twins during pregnancy?

Identical twins are born when a single fertilized egg splits and develops into two fetuses. Fraternal twins are born when two separate eggs are released and fertilized. Identical twins take a long time to separate within the womb, and sometimes they don't separate entirely (conjoined twins). If doctors observe the two fetuses are connected at any point, that means identical twins. You can also do a DNA test on the amniotic fluid surrounding the fetuses. If there are two sets of DNA present, it means fraternal twins. If there is only one unique set of DNA, it means identical twins.
