How are identical twins created or formed?

Answer 1

There are two way twins are formed. Twins can form by two eggs being released by the female and the sperm will fertilize both eggs. The other way twins can be formed is if one fertilized egg divides and forms two eggs.

Answer 2

there is no such thing as paternal or maternal twins. the only type of twins there are is fraternal, and Identical. Identical twins are the result of one sperm fertilizing one egg and that fertilized embryo splitting apart and forming two fetuses, therefore the children are born identical, and thus must be of the same sex. Fraternal twins are the result of two eggs being fertilized at the same time by two different sperm, and the children will be born different from the other. As a result, they can be male/male, female/female, or female/male. also there is a very slim chance that fraternal twins can have two different fathers, as it can take up to two weeks after having sex for a sperm to fertilize an egg. so if a female has sex with multiple partners, there is a very small chance that the two twins could be from two fathers. just to clarify... there is no such thing as paternal or maternal twins

Answer 3

2 sperate eggs get fertilized by 2 separate sperm.

Answer 4

Some times both ovaries produce individual egg. Then both ovum gets fertilized and Fraternal twins happens

Answer 5

Fraternal twins or non-identical twins start as two separate eggs that are fertilized by two separate sperm. They have their own amniotic sacs and their own placentas.

Answer 6

This happens when the egg fuses apart. With faternal twins two sperm must get to the egg before it has became fertilized.
