What occurs when there is a failure in the separation process of identical twins before the thirteenth day after fertilization?
If there is a failure in the separation process of identical twins before the thirteenth day after fertilization, it can result in conjoined twins. Conjoined twins occur when the developing embryos do not fully separate and remain connected, sharing certain organs or body parts.
How do babies get conjoined?
