How triplets develop?
Triplets occur when three separate eggs are fertilized by three separate sperm cells. Each fertilized egg develops into its own distinct embryo, resulting in three babies developing simultaneously in the womb. Triplets can be fraternal (developed from three separate eggs) or identical (developed from one fertilized egg that splits into three embryos).
If twins aren't identical what are they called?
Twins who are of the opposite sex or do not look alike are fraternal twins ~ not identical. This means that at the time of their conception ~ two eggs were fertilised. In the case od identical twins, one egg is fertilised and split in half.
What would happen if two eggs are released at the same time and both were fertilized but before implantation one of the eggs divided into two?
Triplets, of the type normally referred to as "fraternal triplets". This can also occur if two separate eggs split (normally fraternal quadruplets) , but only one of one of the pairs implants.
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.
Are the girl and boy twins identical or fraternal"?
The girl and boy twins are fraternal, meaning they are not identical.

How many ova's would triplets have?
It depends. With identical triplets there was only one ovum. If the set has two identical, one fraternal then there were two ova, and if all three are fraternal then there were three eggs in total. Personally I'm one of a set of two-egg triplets. I am the fraternal one of the set, although I still look very much like my sisters.
What is called 3 kids born in the same time?
Three kids born at the same time are referred to as triplets. Triplets can be identical, fraternal, or a combination of both, depending on whether they originate from one or more fertilized eggs. Identical triplets arise from a single fertilized egg that splits, while fraternal triplets come from multiple eggs being fertilized simultaneously.
What makes triplets?
Triplets can be caused in three different ways. With identical triplets there is only one ovum; it splits in two, then one of the two splits again. The second type of triplets is where there are two ova and one splits to form identical twins. Incidentally, I am one out of a set of this type of triplets (I'm the fraternal one, though I still look alot like my sisters). With the third type of triplets there are three ova, meaning that all the triplets are fraternal. This is the most common type, particularly since the rise of fertility treatment.
Can triplets be identical if they are different gender's?
No, triplets cannot be identical if they are of different genders. Identical triplets arise from a single fertilized egg that splits into three, resulting in genetically identical siblings with the same sex. If the triplets are of different genders, they must have originated from multiple eggs being fertilized, which means they are fraternal triplets instead of identical ones.
What a homozygous?
It literally means "same egg". The term is used to refer to multiple births (twins, triplets etc.) It is a fancy way to say identical twins. Heterozygous twins did not develop from the same egg but two (or more) different eggs. They are also called fraternal twins.
How does identical and fraternal twins happen?
If one egg is fertilized and as it begins to grow it divides into two separate zygotes (fetuses) then they can develop into identical twins. If two separate eggs are both fertilited at the same time they will develop into fraternal twins
What The scientific name for fraternal twins.?
Identical twins are called monozygotic. Fraternal twins are called dizygotic.
If thirty quail all look the the same are they all the same sex?
That is not necessarily true, if triplets all looked the same and there where two boys and one girl, but, both boys looked and had the same lenght of hair as their sister does that mean they where all one sex?That is called fraternal triplets.
Do identical twins develop from two different eggs that are fertilized by different sperm?
No, fraternal twins do.
What is the probability of having twins if your husband is a twin?
Identical twins happen by chance only; 4 per 1000 births or 0.004 probability. Fraternal twin probability is increased only if it is on the mother's side; so this does you affect your circumstance (from what you have stated). The chance of fraternal twins is 1 in 60 or 0.017. So, your probability of identical twins is 0.004 and fraternal twins is 0.017 (BTW, I have triplets).
What is the difference between a fraternal twins and identical twins?
If two (or more) eggs are fertilised and develop together you will get fraternal twins. Identical twins are the result of a single fertilised egg dividing into two embryos.
