No, triplets cannot be identical if they are of different genders. Identical triplets arise from a single fertilized egg that splits into three, resulting in genetically identical siblings with the same sex. If the triplets are of different genders, they must have originated from multiple eggs being fertilized, which means they are fraternal triplets instead of identical ones.
What else can I help you with?
What are three identical brothers called?
Triplets are three identical brothers born at the same time.
Why can fraternal twins be different genders but identical twins are are the same gender?
Identical Twins are the result of a single fertilized egg spliting in two producing two genetically identical children. Fraternal twins are the result of the mother producing two eggs each fertilized by a different sperm from the father. This can result in opposite sex twins.
Do identical twins die at the same time?
this was mensioned in a series of unfortunate events book the 5th i think that if you have triplets and one dies you must still ref-ere to them as triplets as the were born triplets so triplets they shall remain
Two women apply for a job They are identical They have the same mother father and birthday The interviewer asks Are you twins to which they honestly reply?
Yes, they are twins. Being born on the same day to the same parents makes them twins, even if they are identical.
What are heterzygous?
It means "from a different egg". It is generally used to describe non-identical twins who formed embryos from 2 or more different egg cells. Identical twins are called monozygote as they separated from the same fertilized egg cell.
Do identical twins with opposite genders exist?
Yes, it's possible for a mutation in the chromosome to produce otherwise-identical twins with opposite genders. But generally no, identical twins have the same gender. (but fraternal twins have different genders just as often as any siblings)
Is it possible to have triplets with different genders?
Yes, they can each be a different gender. 1 boy 2 girls, 2 boys 1 girl, you know, like that.
Why can fraternal twins different genders but identical are always the same gender?
fraternal twins have two different chromosomes
What is the probability of getting exactly 2 boys out of 3 children?
There is no simple answer to this question because the genders of children depend on the parents genes and age and so are not independent events. Also, the probabilities of the two genders are not equal. Further, some of the children may be identical twins or triplets. Assuming, however, that the genders are independent, the answer is 0.3872, approx.
What makes triplets?
Triplets can be caused in three different ways. With identical triplets there is only one ovum; it splits in two, then one of the two splits again. The second type of triplets is where there are two ova and one splits to form identical twins. Incidentally, I am one out of a set of this type of triplets (I'm the fraternal one, though I still look alot like my sisters). With the third type of triplets there are three ova, meaning that all the triplets are fraternal. This is the most common type, particularly since the rise of fertility treatment.
How many identical triplets are there in this country?
Right now there is a little over 6000 sets of triplets in the U.S. 1 in every 1,000 triplet births are identical.
How many identical triplets in world?
10,000,ooo
How many identical triplets in the world?

In a set of triplets how can two be identical and the other not like the two?
In triplets you could have 3 individuals that came from 3 separate eggs or you could theoretically have 2 eggs fertilized and one of the eggs split in two giving a set of identical twins and the other egg would give you triplets. Theoretically you can have identical triplets, if one of the eggs decided to split a second time (this would be a VERY rare occurance). In that case all of the babies would be identical. In triplets you you can have three individuals that came from three separate eggs, or you could have two eggs fertilized, and one of the eggs splitting to make identical twins while the other egg would give you triplets. If one of the eggs decided to split a second time this would result in identical triplets. [Identical triplets are very rare] only 1 in 1000 triplet births are identical.
How likely is it to have identical triplets?
No. That's stupid. But it is theoretically possible to have identical quadruplets, as in two sets of identical twins. (Another User) But I have heard of identical triplets - It was in the newspaper. They are all 5 years old (Third user) Actually, it IS possible, though exceedingly rare - said to occur in around 1 in 200,000,000 (200 million) births. It happens when one egg splits into identical twins, and then one of those eggs splits again, resulting in three total. As long as all goes well and all three survive the pregnancy and birth, they will live to be identical triplets. There is a story about identical triplets born to a British woman in Austria in 2007. I'd put a link here but don't know if they're allowed. Just search on "identical triplets in Austria" and it will come up. Don't use the quotes.
What are three identical brothers called?
Triplets are three identical brothers born at the same time.
What are the different genders?
