Houseflies have six pairs of chromosomes, so when two houseflies are crossed, there are 2^6 possible combinations of fertilized eggs that can result from the random lining up of the pairs. This gives a total of 64 possible types of fertilized eggs that could result from the cross.
yes
Identical twins are formed from a single egg that splits into two. Fraternal twins are formed from two separate eggs that are both separately fertilized. So identical twins have identical DNA, and fraternal twins do not.
The woman's body releases 2 eggs instead of one, and both get fertilized.
Identical twins come from the same fertilized egg; fraternal twins come from 2 fertilized eggs.

Identical twins come from the same fertilized egg; fraternal twins come from 2 fertilized eggs.
No, not all chicken eggs are fertilized. Most mass-produced eggs from battery farm operations are not fertilized, as the hens live their whole lives without seeing a rooster. Roosters must mate with the female chickens in order for the hens to produce fertilized eggs. No rooster, no fertilization. Hens are able to produce fertilized eggs for 1-2 weeks from one conjugal encounter with a rooster, but it takes a few days for the rooster's sperm to begin fertilizing her eggs.
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.
The woman's body releases 2 eggs instead of one, and both get fertilized.
Fraternal twins (and other multiples) occur when the female ovulates more than one egg at a time and more than one is fertilized. Females that are overweight or older are more likely to ovulate more than one egg at a time. Fertility drugs encourage the body to 'drop' more than one at a time. And the tendency can be inherited.
i would have to say no because i am an identical twin and when you hear twin you think of identical ones. also fraternal twins aren't really twins because they are 2 separate babies that just happened to be fertilized at the same time.
