No, Esau and Jacob were not identical twins. They were fraternal twins, meaning they were born from the same pregnancy but did not have the same genetic makeup.
(Person that asked the question)-Once twins are born, and old enough to determine whether they are identical or fraternal, how do you know if they are identical, or just fraternal twins that look identical? I was just curious.
Non-identical (fraternal) twins are born when two separate eggs are fertilized by two separate sperm. This results in siblings with different genetic makeups and physical characteristics. Non-identical twins can be the same sex or different sexes.
Identical twins occur in about 3.5 out of every 1,000 births in the United States. It is estimated that around 32 out of every 1,000 births are twins, with identical twins making up about one-third of all twin births.
Non-identical twins are more like normal siblings. Identical twins have the exact same DNA, so will be very similar in appearance. Their environment will cause them to have very slight differences, such as different fingerprints and freckles.
No. Identical twins are born anytime. No specific month.
3 identical twins and 55million non-identical....hope it will help

Identical twins are born together, and look exactly alike.Nonidentical twins are born together, but do not look exactly alike.A good example of non identical would be boy and girl twins,
If you mean identical, then yes. The Sedins are identical twins (Henrik was born first).
Yes EVERYBODY has different DNA even if you are identical twins.

It Just Happens In The Women. It Is When 1 Egg Parts Into Two. That's Why They Are Identical Twins.

Depending on how they got identical genes, they may be clones (if it was done artificially, and they were born at different times), or if they were born at the same time, they could be identical twins. However, I don't think horses ever have twins.
