How are babies identical?
Identical babies are the result of one fertilized egg splitting into two embryos during early development. These embryos have the same genetic makeup and are known as identical twins. They share the same DNA and are usually of the same sex.
Do conjoined twins have the same sex?
Yes. Conjoined twins are always identical (monozygotic) twins, and identical twins are always the same sex.There is a theoretical case where identical twins could be opposite genders, when the babies are female but in one of the females, a branch of one X chromosome breaks away; however, I don't believe this has ever been observed.
Why does identical twins not have the same weight and Skin colour?
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.
How do twins look exactly alike?
They do look different! Even identical twins, with identical DNA, are different. Most have a slight difference in height and weight. Many people have a difficult time telling them apart because they are focusing on the wrong things. If someone looks only at the hair, they may not see that their faces are slightly different.
Why can't identical twins be of the opposite sex?
Identical twins are formed from a single fertilized egg that splits into two embryos. Because they share the same genetic material, identical twins are always the same sex. Opposite-sex twins are typically fraternal twins, formed from two separate eggs fertilized by two different sperm.
Do Identical twins think more alike than Fraternal?
Yes. Fraternal twins don't look alike at all. Identical, meaning to look the same, are well, identical.
Are paternal twins identical?
I dont think there is such a thing as paternal twins...perhaps you are thinking of fraternal twins. In that case, they are not identical twins, they do not look the same and they can be different sexes.
What is The scientific name for identical twins.?
Identical twins (monozygotic) occur when a single egg, fertilized by a single sperm, splits into two identical halves. Two separate babies with identical DNA are formed. Identical twins are always the same sex and blood type. http://www.twin-pregnancy-and-beyond.com/identical-twins-or-fraternal-twins.html

What are seven babies born at the same time with the same mother called?
Twins Also, they are called identical twins if they come from the same egg

Differences between identical and fraternal?
identical twins are from the same egg cell that split, but ferternal twins are from 2 entirely different fertilized egg cells. Thus identical look the same and ferternal can look entirely different.
What are fraternal twins?
Fraternal twins are two siblings that have the same birth day, but do not look identical.
What is the different between identical twins and franternal twins?
The DNA of identical twins and of clones is, apart from random, environmentally produced mutations, 100% identical. The only difference is that clones are produced on purpose through advanced bioengineering techniques while identical twins happen as an accident of nature. Identical twins are, in a sense, natural clones.
Does Justin look the same as his other brother?
yes they are Identical twins
What are twins called when they both do not look the same?
Fraternal (instead of identical)
What kinds of twins are there?
Identical and Fraternal There are identical and fraternal. Fraternal twins happen when 2 different embryos start growing at the same time, so you get a brother and a sister or 2 sisters or 2 brothers that are the same age. Identical twins happen when 1 embryo splits into 2 embryos when it is only a few cells big, so both babies have the same genes.
