(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.
There are many twins that don't look alike. They are called fraternal twins.
Yes, non-identical twins are often referred to as fraternal twins. These twins develop from two separate eggs fertilized by two different sperm cells, resulting in genetic differences that can make them look less alike than identical twins.
Fraternal twins, or dizygotic twins, form when two separate eggs are fertilized by two different sperm cells during the same menstrual cycle. This results in two genetically unique siblings who share about 50% of their DNA, similar to regular siblings. Fraternal twins can be of the same sex or different sexes and may or may not look alike. Factors such as maternal age, genetics, and the use of fertility treatments can influence the likelihood of having fraternal twins.
Brittany and Cynthia Daniel are identical twins. Even though they may appear to look slightly different due to factors such as hairstyles, makeup, and individual characteristics, they share identical DNA as they originated from the same fertilized egg.
Fraternal twins are two siblings that have the same birth day, but do not look identical.
Ferternal twins don't look alike, but twins do

Paternal Non-Identical fraternal twins
Fraternal twins.
Yes. Fraternal twins don't look alike at all. Identical, meaning to look the same, are well, identical.
Fraternal twins are different eggs and sperm so they are like regular brother and sister except they are born together
There are many twins that don't look alike. They are called fraternal twins.
Twins who are of the opposite sex or do not look alike are fraternal twins ~ not identical. This means that at the time of their conception ~ two eggs were fertilised. In the case od identical twins, one egg is fertilised and split in half.
Not all the time if they do and look the sane then they're idendentical twins, if they look totally opposite they they're fraternal twins
Fraternal (instead of identical)
When u are twins but don't look alike
