Which gender is most common to have albinism?

Albinism occurs equally in both males and females. It is a genetic condition that can affect individuals of any gender.


If identical twins marry identical twins will their children look the same?

No. Nobody looks the same because of environmental factors, even if their DNA is identical. But: If both of the parent-twins were identical, than the DNA of the children of both married couples would be as similar as the DNA of siblings. The cousins would not look the same, but would look more alike than most cousins look.


I am a fraternal twin what are the odds of me having twins?

its not likely that you will have twins then... normally you will not have a chance of having twins unless your mother side of the family has a history of twins it matter if you dads side does or not and also if you are over the age of 35 years old. Most likely if your siblings are twins the there is a possibility that they them selves or their children will have twins..


Do studies of identical twins show that there is a relationship between genetics and sexuality?

Yes. Absolutely. In the Kallman study in 1952, Kallman found that of the 37 identical twins classified they all not only had the same sexuality but were similar in their sex practices. The next large study of note (and the most recent) was performed in 1991 by Bailey and Pillard. They decided to look for homosexuals to apply to a study and asked them if they had an identical twin, fraternal twin, or an adoptive brother. Then they asked for the sexuality of the brothers of the homosexual men. The scientists believe that if genetics is a factor, we should see a much higher amount of homosexual behavior in identical twins than in fraternal twins who only share as many genes as normal siblings. Also, if genetics play a part in sexuality, then there should still be a higher concurrence in fraternal twins than in adoptive brothers who share no genes. 52% (more than half) of the identical twins of a homosexuals were also homosexual. As the average amount of people that are homosexual is around 10%, this indicates that genetics play a very large role in sexuality. 22% of the fraternal twins of homosexuals were also homosexual. Again, this is in comparison to the 10% of the population that is normally homosexual, so even with brothers that are not identical genetics make it twice as likely that a person will be homosexual if they have a homosexual sibling. Finally, with adoptive brothers that shared the same home, only 11% were homosexual. When no genetics are involved, the rate of homosexuality dropped down to where it would be expected to be - the national average of 10%.

Why do you think identical twins were more alike than fraternal twins?

Fraternal twins share most of their genetic material, by virtue of having the same parents. Identical twins, however, by definition share 100% of their DNA. This means, for example, that identical twins cannot ever be one of each gender, as fraternal twins often are.


Why are most conjoined twins female?

They can be either but are always Gender-Bound, Two boys or Two girls, a Boy and a Girl, born Siamese is impossible, as they are identical twins, not fraternal and normally ( Take their Gender) to a man- or woman as it were.


What are the 2 kinds of twins?

Generally fraternal twins are more common. For fraternal twins to occur twins must diverge, but differentiate upon becoming separate entities. Identical twins are rarer, in which the two siblings are of the same gender and are exactly alike upon birth. Rarer so are conjoined, or "Siamese" twins. This occurs when twins are born partially or extremely fused together. There is only a 25% survival chance for a conjoined twin. Most were only connected by gristle and flesh, and could have been easily separated easily, were they in modern society.


Who would have the most genetic similarities identical twins or fraternal twins?

Identical twins would have the most genetic similarities, since they share the same original 46 chromosomes.

Are mullage twins?

Mullage twins, often referred to as "semi-identical twins," are a rare type of twins that occur when a single fertilized egg splits into two embryos but also shares some genetic material. This results in twins that are genetically similar like identical twins, but not completely identical. This phenomenon is extremely uncommon, and most twins are either fraternal (dizygotic) or identical (monozygotic). The unique genetic makeup of mullage twins can lead to interesting medical and biological implications.
