Identical twins, due to the fact that the one fertilized egg splits, have identical DNA. Fraternal twins, since they are from separate eggs, have different DNA.
Because the mother identical twins each have a different husband . . . half of his characteristics show up in their babies.
Identical offspring are referred to as "monozygotic twins" or simply "identical twins." They arise from a single fertilized egg that splits into two embryos, resulting in genetically identical individuals. This contrasts with "dizygotic twins," or fraternal twins, which develop from two separate eggs fertilized by two different sperm. Identical twins share the same genetic material, while fraternal twins do not.
(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.
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.
100%Identical twins develop from the same egg, so have the same DNA. The only thing different between identical twins is finger prints, and retinal patterns.
There are differences in both DNA and fingerprints.The Claim: Identical Twins Have Identical DNA
No, identical twins do not have the same fingerprints. While they share the same DNA, fingerprint patterns are influenced by both genetic and environmental factors during fetal development. This makes it a testable question, as researchers can compare the fingerprints of identical twins to assess their similarities and differences. Studies have consistently shown that even identical twins have unique fingerprints.
Identical twins. Although horses sometimes have twins I'm not sure if they have identical twins.
If they were not then they would not be called identical twins!
Approximately 30 of twins are identical, also known as monozygotic twins.
Twins are identical because they come from the same egg.
Identical twins are formed from a single egg that splits into two. Fraternal twins are formed from two separate eggs that are both separately fertilized. So identical twins have identical DNA, and fraternal twins do not.
Identical twins are formed when one fertilized eggs splits. Non-identical twins are formed when two separate eggs are fertilized.
The same as when you had the first set of identical twins.
Non identical twins.
No.
