How do twins form?

Identical twins form when an egg is released from the ovary and is fertilised by a sperm and then splits into two. They then form naturally. Non-identical twins form when two eggs are released from the ovary and then fertilised by a sperm. They also form naturally. Identical twins have to be of the same sex (two boys or two girls) because they have come from the same egg which contains the same DNA. Non-identical twins can be either boy and girl or of the same sex (two boys or two girls) because they came from two different eggs and so have two different sets of DNA.


What is the difference between idetical and non idetical twins in the way they are found?

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.
