What do we call twins that fail to separate at birth?
Twins that fail to separate at birth are called conjoined twins. They are physically connected to each other at birth due to incomplete division of the fertilized egg.
How are fraternal twins different from the other types of twins?
Fraternal twins are the result of two DIFFERENT egg cells which both become fertilized. That is why they can be either the same or different sex, because they are just like any two puppies, kittens, or other animal who normally bears more than one offspring at a time. The "other kind" of twins, as you call them, are identical, and are the result of one egg cell that has already been fertilized to begin development, and THEN divides to become two separate embryos. In this case, the twins WILL be the same sex, because they are essentially like putting a picture in a copy machine; the two images have to match because they came from the same original.
Why do some twins look different?
Fraternal twins occur when two fertilized eggs are implanted in the uterine wall at the same time. When two eggs are independently fertilized by two different sperm cells, DZ twins result. The two eggs, or ova, form two zygotes, hence the terms zygotic and biovular.Identical twins occur when an egg splits into two; which makes them identical. Identical twins are not hereditary like fraternal twins can be. It is complete coincidence.
What do you call identical twins that develop from two different eggs that are fertilized by different sperm?
That isn't possible: if the twins are from two different eggs, fertilized by different sperm, then they will not be identical. It's genetically impossible.
What do you call clones in the human population?
In the human population, clones are referred to as identical twins. Identical twins occur naturally when a fertilized egg splits into two separate embryos, resulting in two individuals with the same genetic makeup. Cloning, on the other hand, refers to the artificial creation of an identical copy of an organism.
How do you call to siblings that have the same birthdays but dont look like each other?
They would be Fraternal Twins. The formed from separate eggs in utero. Identical twins formed from a single egg that split into two.
Why do they call the Minnesota Twins the Twins?
Because the twins are the worst team in baseball.
What do you call two twins joined togever?
Conjoined twins.
When the egg becomes fertilized in the oviduct we call it a?
fetus
What do you call the fertilized cell which we came from?
It is called a zygote.
What do you call the egg process if is NOT fertilized?
this process is known as implantation
What do you call twins that are born connected?
Twins that are born connected are called conjoined twins. There are different kinds of conjoined twins, including thoracopagus, omphalopagus, and craniophagus twins, While thoracopagus twins are connected at the torso's top portion and can share one heart, omphalopagus twins are joined from the breastbone to the waist and share a liver. Craniophagus twins are connected at the head region.
