In male twin human beings is it common for one to be sterile?

It is not common for one male twin to be sterile while the other is fertile. However, if one twin has a specific health condition or genetic disorder that affects fertility, it is possible for them to be sterile while their twin is not affected.


What if one identical twin is diagnosed as schizophrenic there is a high probability that the other twin will also have this mental disturbance?

Identical twins share 100% of their genetic material, so if one twin has schizophrenia, the other twin has a high likelihood of developing it due to genetic predisposition. However, environmental factors also play a role in the development of schizophrenia, so it is not guaranteed that both twins will develop the disorder.


Do twins sharing one placenta have a higher risk of complications during pregnancy compared to twins with separate placentas?

Yes, twins sharing one placenta have a higher risk of complications during pregnancy compared to twins with separate placentas. This is because they may be more likely to experience conditions such as twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome, where one twin receives more blood flow than the other.


Can you explain the unique characteristics and potential risks associated with twins who share one placenta but have two separate sacs"?

Twins who share one placenta but have two separate sacs are known as monochorionic-diamniotic twins. This type of twin pregnancy is considered high-risk because the twins may develop twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome, where one twin receives too much blood flow and the other too little. This can lead to complications such as growth discrepancies, organ damage, and even fetal demise. Monitoring and early intervention are crucial in managing the potential risks associated with this type of twin pregnancy.

Does the death of a twin in utero cause defects to the other twin?

The death of an identical twin in the womb may be caused by developmental or genetic defects in both members of the twin pair, but one twin fares rather better than the other and makes it to birth alive, as a womb twin survivor. The death of a fraternal womb twin in the womb may be caused by developmental anomalies/genetic defects in the womb twin while the womb twin survivor is developing normally and does not share the same genes. After one womb twin dies later in the pregnancy and there is one placenta, or the two placentas have fused, there is a risk of twin embolisation syndrome in the womb twin survivor, which can cause brain damage to the survivor if delivery is delayed. To avoid this risk, the premature birth of the survivor is considered an appropriate solution. In short, there is a slight possibility of damage to the survivor, but the loss of a womb twin is very common, affecting at least 10% of pregnancies, while the birth of a child with defects is relatively rare.

Do you pass a twin if one dies in utero?

i was pregnant with a set of twins. one passed on at 13 weeks enutero and the other made it to 29 weeks before coming a bit early. the twin that passed had (i suppose you could say) mumification going on. when i found out the one twin had died, it was because i thought my water had broken so off to the hospitol to find out it was the passed on baby's fluids, and not her sister. (oh and my daughter born at 29 weeks, she will be 7 this year. best of luck, i hope that helped a bit, i know it's not all sciencey,but that is my story of faternal twin demise.
