Two individuals that develop from the same zygote are called identical twins. If they develop from two separate zygotes, they are fraternal.

How do identical and fraternal twins develop?

Identical twins form from the same fertilized egg (zygote). When the zygote has divided a few times and formed a ball of cells, something causes this embryo to split in two. Each half then goes on to develop into a person. So the twins have identical genes. A technical name for such individuals is monozygotictwins.Fraternal (or dizygotic) twins develop from two zygotes, formed from two different eggs (ova) fertilized by two different male gametes (sperms). So they are not necessarily any more alike than any other siblings.
