What is the probability of having twins if your dad is a twin?

I'm not sure on the actual percentages. It firstly depends on if your father is an identical or non-identical twin. (Maternal or fraternal) Non-identical (fraternal) twins are the hereditary type, not the identical ones. Identical twins are simply a hiccup with the cell division during fetal growth, whereas non-identical twins are due to the hereditary tendency of the woman releasing more than one egg at a time. The gene for non-identical twins is directly passed from fathers to daughters, and the chance of having twins usually skips a generation too (like baldness in men!). So, if your father is a twin (a non-identical twin) and you are his daughter, it's possible that you may also have twins, but it's far more likely that your daughter will. My father is a twin (his brother died at birth and it's not known if he was maternal or fraternal unfortunately) and I only have 1 child (a daughter). She has a very high chance of having twins if dad was fraternal.

Are twins more likely to have twins for their own child?

I have an identical twin. For me it is no more likely that I will have twins than anyone else because identical twins are just flukes. If you are a non- identical twin and that is because your mother had two eggs, then you may have this too, and it is more likely you will have twins.


Is it true that if a pregnant woman eats twin bananas she will be having twin babies?

Absolutely not ! The only way for a woman to bear twins is if either there are two eggs implanted after conception (non-identical twins) or one egg develops into two embryos (identical twins)


My Dad is O Positive and my mom is O rh Negative. my twin sister is O Rh Neg and my younger sister is O Rh Neg. What blood group would that make me?

If we assume your twin sister is an Identical twin, you can only be O Rh Negative. If she is an non-identical twin, it is possible that you could be O rh positive, but unlikely. There is one sure way to find out - get blood tested.


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.
