Twins from different eggs are fraternal twins. They are siblings with the same birthdate. They are twins, but not identical, and can even be girl and boy. It is the same process taking place as a single child that a woman becomes pregnant with, but the process happens with two children at the same time. The woman releases two eggs that month instead of one, and they both are fertilized. That is how this type of twin is produced.

What type of twins share the greatest genetic overlap?

Identical twins share the greatest genetic overlap as they are genetically identical. They develop from a single fertilized egg that splits into two embryos.


What type of eggs will become drones?

Eggs fertilized by drones become female worker bees, while unfertilized eggs develop into male drones. Drones are produced from haploid eggs laid by the queen.


Which type of stem cell are fertilized eggs?

Pluripotent


How many egg cells are used with twins?

It depends on the type of twins If It was identical (monozygotic) twins, one egg is fertilized (As you can see, identical twins have similarity in phenotype (the observable characteristic of an organism) because of development of one zygote divided into two embryos) but if it was non-identical twins, two eggs or more (such as triplets or quadruplets) are fertilized. The twins have differences in phenotype


How is sex determined in most ants and bees?

In most ants and bees, sex is determined by the fertilization of eggs. Fertilized eggs develop into females, while unfertilized eggs develop into males. This type of sex determination system is known as haplodiploidy.


How are identical twins created or formed?

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.


What type of asexual reproduction is reproduce without their eggs being fertilized?

Parthenogenesis is a type of asexual reproduction where organisms can reproduce without their eggs being fertilized by sperm. This is common in species such as reptiles, insects, and fish.


How do you know what kind of twins they are?

Genetic testing is the only way to positively identify what type of twins you are having. Identical or monozygotic (MZ) twins occur when a single egg is fertilized to form one zygote (hence, "monozygotic") which then divides into two separate embryos. Half-identical or semi-identical twins (also referred to as "half twins") are the result of a very rare form of twinning in which the twins inherit exactly the same genes from their mother but different genes from their father. Fraternal or dizygotic (DZ) twins (also referred to as "non-identical twins" and in cases of females, occasionally sororal twins) usually occur when two fertilized eggs are implanted in the uterus wall at the same time. When two eggs are independently fertilized by two different sperm cells, fraternal twins result.


Which type of twin are created when two ova are fertilized by two sperms?

dizygotic or non-identical twins


Is your glofish pregnant?

Only live bearing fish get pregnant and Glo fish being a type of danio are egg layers therefore the eggs are fertilized and develop outside the fish's body. So no Glo fish is ever going to get pregnant


How will the arowana fish hatch eggs?

Arowanas are mouth breeders, that is, the male will carry the fertilized eggs in his mouth and protect the young once they hatch. See the link below for a good overview of this fish's reproductive habits.


What is a fraternal sibling?

The most common type of multiple pregnancy. Fraternal twins occur when two different eggs are fertilized by different sperm. Because these types of siblings do not share any of the exact genetic material, they will be no more alike than siblings born at separate times.
