Is it more likey for a fraternal twin to give birth to a set of fraternal twins than to just one baby?
The same as anyone else, unless his partner has a history of twins in her family. Twins are a result of the ovum (egg) splitting after fertilisation (identical twins), or the release of two eggs during ovulation (fraternal twins). It has no bearing on the male contribution to fertilisation (being the sperm).
What else can I help you with?
Do twins have separate placentas?
Yes, twins can have separate placentas. In cases of fraternal twins, each baby typically has its own placenta. However, in cases of identical twins, they may share a single placenta.
What happens when both ovaries releases an egg at the same time and both are fertilized?
If both eggs from the ovaries are fertilized with sperm, it can result in fraternal twins (two separate embryos). Each embryo would develop independently, leading to a multiple pregnancy. This is known as dizygotic twins.
Do twins have two placentas?
Yes, twins can have two placentas, one for each baby. This is more common in fraternal twins, who develop from two separate eggs fertilized by two different sperm. Identical twins, who develop from a single fertilized egg that splits into two embryos, can sometimes share a single placenta.
What is the genetic difference between identical and non identical twins?
Identical twins are formed by the separation of the same embryo containing same genetic coding. thus the the twins are identical as formed from the same embryo. But this is not the case in the non-identical twins as they are formed from the individual embro each having different genetic coding.
Is it the sperm or egg that determines twins?
Sperm contains either an X(female) chromosome or a Y(male) chromosome, whereas the egg contains only an X(female) chromosome. Neither the egg nor the sperm can be said to have a"sex." The combination of an X-bearing sperm with the (X-bearing) egg produces a female baby. The combination of a Y-bearing sperm with the (X-bearing) egg produces a male baby. It might seem that the man (sperm) that determines the sex of the baby, but this assumes that the egg is passive, accepting the first sperm to arrive at the egg. Some recent evidence indicates that this is not so. See the Wikipedia article on "Maternal influence on sex determination.
Do twins have separate placentas?
Yes, twins can have separate placentas. In cases of fraternal twins, each baby typically has its own placenta. However, in cases of identical twins, they may share a single placenta.
If there were two babies one was born at 1159PM and the other was born at 1201AM would they still be called twins?
YES! The term twins refers to how the baby developes, not when, or the day, that the baby is born. For example, if there are two babies within the womb (fraternal or not) at the same time, they will be twins.
How do you give birth to twins?
Just like having a normal baby
What happens when both ovaries releases an egg at the same time and both are fertilized?
If both eggs from the ovaries are fertilized with sperm, it can result in fraternal twins (two separate embryos). Each embryo would develop independently, leading to a multiple pregnancy. This is known as dizygotic twins.
Why can fraternal twins de different sexes while identical twins cannot?
To keep it simple and not get too technical, fraternal twins are from two eggs and two sperm that independently combine to produce a baby. Identical twins come from a single egg and sperm that divide to create two separate children. Gender is controlled by the males sperm and whether it contains the male genetic X chromosome. Since identical twins have the same sperm their genetic makeup is exactly the same (same egg and sperm used in development). Fraternal twins have two separate sperm and therefore it is possible one has the X chromosome and other does not.
When twins are born what measures are taken in the hospital to ensure they don't get muddled up?
In most US hospitals - and I expect a large fraction of hospitals world wide - the baby gets a bracelet that includes the mother's name and some designation of their own identity. In the case of twins, they can just number them - e.g. baby 1 and baby 2. Obviously they don't have too much trouble when the twins are fraternal twins of opposite gender.
Do twins have two placentas?
Yes, twins can have two placentas, one for each baby. This is more common in fraternal twins, who develop from two separate eggs fertilized by two different sperm. Identical twins, who develop from a single fertilized egg that splits into two embryos, can sometimes share a single placenta.
Can lizards ave twins?
Lizards belong to the family of reptiles. They do not give live birth, they lay eggs. Each egg will give birth to a baby lizard, and they are not considered twins.
Do dolphins always give birth to one baby?
Usually, but not Always. sometimes there are Twins.

In the series finale, Melanie gives birth to twins.
Can two men get a woman pregnant?
Not at the same time to create a single baby. But it is possible that if the woman has two eggs then two different men can fertilize them, resulting in fraternal twins that are half-brothers.
