Identical (monozygotic) twins develop from one zygote (fertilized egg) that splits into two embryos.
Two individuals that develop from the same zygote are called identical twins. If they develop from two separate zygotes, they are fraternal.
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.
Identical twins develop from a single zygote that splits into two embryos during early development. Therefore, only one zygote is needed to form identical twins.
Identical twins are called monozygotic. Fraternal twins are called dizygotic.
there are two types of twins-- fraternal and identical. Fraternal twins are genetically unique, and they usually have physical differences. Identical twins are identically identical, such as a clone, and have exact physcial characteristics, excluding weight and scars etc.
Female twins that are not identical are called fraternal twins. Fraternal twins occur when two separate eggs are fertilized by two separate sperm. Maternal twins refer to twins that share the same mother but can include both identical and fraternal twins.
Normally non-identical twins.
fraternal twins have two different chromosomes
No, fraternal twins do.
If two (or more) eggs are fertilised and develop together you will get fraternal twins. Identical twins are the result of a single fertilised egg dividing into two embryos.
If one egg is fertilized and as it begins to grow it divides into two separate zygotes (fetuses) then they can develop into identical twins. If two separate eggs are both fertilited at the same time they will develop into fraternal twins

The reason why some twins are identical and some are not starts in utero. Identical twins occur when one egg is fertilized and it splits to create two embryos. Nonidentical twins come from different fertilized eggs.
Dizygotic twins develop from two separate ova fertilized by different sperm at roughly the same time, they are also called fraternal twins. Monozygotic twins develop from one zygote that splits apart producing genetically identical zygotes; also called identical twins.
