1 in 250 live births is identical twins. IVF does not change the odds for identicals.
From what i know, if your twins are identical then you have no increased chance of having twins a second time. If your twins are fraternal, you are twice as likely to have twins again because fraternal twins are the result of more than egg being released and that is a genetic trate.
No.
the chances of having identical twins are about 1 in 300.
There is no precise percentage of fraternal or identical twins but it is estimated that 2/3 of all twins are fraternal where as 1/3 of twins are identical.
I'm not sure on the actual percentages. It firstly depends on if your father is an identical or non-identical twin. (Maternal or fraternal) Non-identical (fraternal) twins are the hereditary type, not the identical ones. Identical twins are simply a hiccup with the cell division during fetal growth, whereas non-identical twins are due to the hereditary tendency of the woman releasing more than one egg at a time. The gene for non-identical twins is directly passed from fathers to daughters, and the chance of having twins usually skips a generation too (like baldness in men!). So, if your father is a twin (a non-identical twin) and you are his daughter, it's possible that you may also have twins, but it's far more likely that your daughter will. My father is a twin (his brother died at birth and it's not known if he was maternal or fraternal unfortunately) and I only have 1 child (a daughter). She has a very high chance of having twins if dad was fraternal.

I have an identical twin. For me it is no more likely that I will have twins than anyone else because identical twins are just flukes. If you are a non- identical twin and that is because your mother had two eggs, then you may have this too, and it is more likely you will have twins.
about 80% because most of the people i no are identical
The odds are 75 percent.

Heterozygous parents have the same odds of identical twins as the general population. Identical twins do not run in families and, therefore, twinning is not related to genetics. Comparisons among different ethnic groups rule out an ethnic cause-no difference. Only mother's age correlates with twinning: the older the mother, the greater the likelihood.
Identical twins. Although horses sometimes have twins I'm not sure if they have identical twins.
If they were not then they would not be called identical twins!
it has nothing to do with the father of the baby AT ALL! it depends on the Mommy's body. you have to either produce 2 eggs (which means fraternal twins) or have 1 egg that splits into 2 (which is identical)... all that depends on the father is whether or not he fertilizes both... though those genes can pass onto your children.
Approximately 30 of twins are identical, also known as monozygotic twins.
Identical twins are formed from a single egg that splits into two. Fraternal twins are formed from two separate eggs that are both separately fertilized. So identical twins have identical DNA, and fraternal twins do not.
Twins are identical because they come from the same egg.
