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.
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.
To have twins, it's just two. whether they're identical or not depends on if they're two girls, two boys, or one boy and one girl. To have twins, it's just two. whether they're identical or not depends on if they're two girls, two boys, or one boy and one girl.
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.
Estimating the exact number of pairs of identical twins in the world is challenging due to varying birth rates and reporting practices across countries. However, studies suggest that approximately 3 to 4 pairs of identical twins are born for every 1,000 births globally. Given the world's population and average birth rates, this could translate to millions of pairs of identical twins existing today. The prevalence of identical twins can also vary by region and population genetics.
Identical twins occur in about 3.5 out of every 1,000 births in the United States. It is estimated that around 32 out of every 1,000 births are twins, with identical twins making up about one-third of all twin births.

fraternal and identical

3 identical twins and 55million non-identical....hope it will help
1000
No. In order for them to be identical they needed to start off as the same cell and divide so at first their DNA is identical meaning they have the same sex. During development slight changes may occur but the sex always stays the same. Boy-girl twins are always two different cells meaning that they are not identical. The term for boy-girl twins is furturnal. You can however have boy-boy twins and girl-girl twins that are not identical and they are also called furternal. So basically, identical twins start off as one cell that divides and furternal are two individual cells. There is polar body twinning, that's when the egg splits before fertilization, and that can cause a male and a female. This is called semi identical twins or half twins. They share 75% of their genetic markers.
Identical and fraternal twins typically share many similar characteristics

10 million identical and 115 nonidentical.
