No, conjoined twins are like any other identical twins. Only way is, that they are a rare form of twins, that have one head and two bodies. These of course, have never survived, so even the other side of the body might be independent.
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.
Twins can have identical chromosomes if they are monozygotic (identical twins) because they develop from a single fertilized egg that splits into two embryos. This results in both twins having the same genetic makeup and identical chromosomes.
Homozygous means "the same egg." That refers to identical twins. Identical twins are always the same gender since they have the same chromosomes.
Eye colour is caused by genetics whereas the weight of a person depends on how they life their life (how healthily they eat or how much exercise they do) so it is an environmental variation. Identical twins have the same genes so have the same eye colour.
Yes. Conjoined twins are always identical (monozygotic) twins, and identical twins are always the same sex.There is a theoretical case where identical twins could be opposite genders, when the babies are female but in one of the females, a branch of one X chromosome breaks away; however, I don't believe this has ever been observed.
I dont think there is such a thing as paternal twins...perhaps you are thinking of fraternal twins. In that case, they are not identical twins, they do not look the same and they can be different sexes.
Yes. Fraternal twins don't look alike at all. Identical, meaning to look the same, are well, identical.
Twins are identical because they come from the same egg.

do identical or non identical twins share the same placenta
The difference between Identical and Non-Identical twins is that Identical twins share the same placenta and are basically identical to one another. Non-Identical twins do not share the same placenta in the womb and two eggs fertilized at time of conception as opposed to one egg splitting in the case of Identical twins. I think that covers the basics. Hope this has clarified things for you.
The same as when you had the first set of identical twins.
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.
No, twins in the same placenta are not genetically identical. While identical twins share the same DNA, they may have slight genetic differences due to mutations that occur after fertilization.
Fraternal twins share most of their genetic material, by virtue of having the same parents. Identical twins, however, by definition share 100% of their DNA. This means, for example, that identical twins cannot ever be one of each gender, as fraternal twins often are.
identical twins do. just not the same fingerprints.
yes they are... simmes twins form from one egg that is in the process of separating into two eggs or identical twins... but the process isn't finished and that is why they are "stuck together"
