Yes.
i say that identical twins are the least rare because like me a fraternal twin i only know 1 pair of fraternal twin.
Maurice was the fraternal twin of Robin. Maurice died in 2003.
Yes. It is possible to have a set of fraternal twins in which there is one boy and one girl.
No, being a fraternal twin does not increase the likelihood of giving birth to fraternal twins. The chances of having fraternal twins are determined by the mother's genetics and are not influenced by being a twin herself.
The chances of having twins can be influenced by genetics, but it's not guaranteed. In this scenario, with multiple twins in the family, there may be a slightly higher likelihood of having twins due to a genetic predisposition, but it's not definite. Other factors like age, ethnicity, and lifestyle also play a role in the likelihood of having twins.
Fraternal twins.
they are fraternal twins because they do not have the DNAfraternal.
The probability is the same as if you had no history of twins in your family. There is no genetic component with identical twins, it is just something that happens. Fraternal twins occur if a mother "drops" two eggs in one month. Your father being a fraternal twin does not make you "drop" more than one egg in a month and so does not increase your chances of having twins. Your maternal grandfather being a fraternal twin did not effect your mother's ability to drop more than one egg and so did not effect your ability to "drop" more than one egg and so does not increase your ability to have twins.
Identical twins happen by chance only; 4 per 1000 births or 0.004 probability. Fraternal twin probability is increased only if it is on the mother's side; so this does you affect your circumstance (from what you have stated). The chance of fraternal twins is 1 in 60 or 0.017. So, your probability of identical twins is 0.004 and fraternal twins is 0.017 (BTW, I have triplets).
that means they are not identical twins they are fraternal they each got different genes
Women who are themselves fraternal twins have a 10% chance of producing twins, identical twin women have only a 0.6% probability of having a twin birth.
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..
