To answer this question, it is helpful to know if these are identical or fraternal. If identical, these babies came from a single egg. They will have exactly the same genes. If they are fraternal, they will be like brothers, except born at the same time. Their genes will not be exactly the same.

Now if they are identical, the chance ranges from 1 in 200,000 to 1 in 200 million. It seems that the range is so wide because this is so rare. Of the four million births in the US each year only about 7,000 are triplets. Add to this, the question as to whether they are identical or not.

How is triplets formed?

Triplets can be formed two different ways. 1. The mother produces three eggs, at or near the same time during her cycle, and all of them are fertilized. This would produce three fraternal triplets. 2. The mother produces one egg, which is then fertilized, and the egg splits into three separate embryos. This would produce three identical triplets.

How do you force triplets on Sims 3?

To have more than one baby at a time on Sims 3, you have to buy the fertility treatment. A lot of people say you have to eat certain things to have triplets on the game, but all I did was buy the fertility treatment, made a baby, and I had a set of female triplets. It's not as confusing as many people say it is.


A woman had two sons who were born on the same hour of the same day of the same year But they were not twins?

It happens all the time. They had two different mothers..Sisters.That answer doesn't work. The question states that they had the SAME mother, not different mothers. The simplest answer is that they were 2/3 of a set of triplets.Actually, this happened with me, and it's neither of those answers.My brother and I were born on the same day to the same mother, and we're not twins.However, we were born five years apart.According to the question, this is a correct answer, seems how we were both born on the day of October 7th. Nothing was mentioned about the same year.


If my husbands grandmother had identical twin daughters and his mother had only sons what are the chances of the boys having identical twins too?

Neither the husband, nor his family history of twins, will have any effect on his sons fathering twins. Whether or not a pregnancy is twins, triplets, etc., depends entirely on the woman. What determines twins (or triplets) is if one egg is fertilized, then splits in two, then this is identical twins; if the egg splits in three, then it's identical triplets. If two eggs are fertilized, then they will be fraternal twins, and not identical, and may not even resemble each other at all; they can even be a different sex from each other. If three eggs are fertilized, then they will be fraternal triplets, and not identical, and can be all female, all male or two of one sex and one of another. The bottom line is, the father neverhas anything to do with whether or not it's a single birth, twins, triplets, etc. It is the mother, and the mother only. Now if multiple birth pregnancies run in her family, then the chances of twins will be higher than families with no history of multiple births.

In a set of triplets how can two be identical and the other not like the two?

In triplets you could have 3 individuals that came from 3 separate eggs or you could theoretically have 2 eggs fertilized and one of the eggs split in two giving a set of identical twins and the other egg would give you triplets. Theoretically you can have identical triplets, if one of the eggs decided to split a second time (this would be a VERY rare occurance). In that case all of the babies would be identical. In triplets you you can have three individuals that came from three separate eggs, or you could have two eggs fertilized, and one of the eggs splitting to make identical twins while the other egg would give you triplets. If one of the eggs decided to split a second time this would result in identical triplets. [Identical triplets are very rare] only 1 in 1000 triplet births are identical.
