Are identical twins more common than fraternal twins?

it was 1/250 just for twins, but identical is more common then futurnal


What does fraternal twins and identical twins have in common?

Identical twins are twins that develop from same egg. These twins have same genome, also they have same physical appearance with minimal differences.


Do twins have the same blood type?

Identical twins should. Mutations are the only exception. Semi-identical twins (whether this is possible is still argued) are more likely to have such. Fraternal twins might, but no more likely than siblings having the same blood type (which is, reasonably, common). Fraternal twins with different fathers are less likely to share a blood type, just as would appear with half-siblings. Then again, it is POSSIBLE for you to have the same blood type as your unrelated next door neighbor, but it is not likely. I am just telling you the probability of things.


Twins formed by the fertilization of two ova by two sperm are?

They would be fraternal twins. Identical twins are created when one sperm fertilized one egg, and hat egg then splits in two. Identical twins are always the same gender, while fraternal twins can be either gender, or a mix of the two.


What are the 2 kinds of twins?

Generally fraternal twins are more common. For fraternal twins to occur twins must diverge, but differentiate upon becoming separate entities. Identical twins are rarer, in which the two siblings are of the same gender and are exactly alike upon birth. Rarer so are conjoined, or "Siamese" twins. This occurs when twins are born partially or extremely fused together. There is only a 25% survival chance for a conjoined twin. Most were only connected by gristle and flesh, and could have been easily separated easily, were they in modern society.

Can Tay-Sachs occur in twins?

Yes, it is possible. It would be more common if the twins are fraternal that only one twin would be affected by the disease because it is a recessive trait, meaning both parents must be a carrier for the offspring to be affected. If the twins are identical and the tay-sachs gene is present, then boths twins will be infected because identical twins have identical DNA

Did Angelina Jolie have in vitro to conceive?

It has been reported that she did. It would make sense, since at her age many take drugs or try in vitro to conceive faster. Also, twins are rare when there is no family history of twins; when taking drugs or using in vitro, twins are more common.
