Multiple Births

Multiple births happen when two or more fetuses are developed during a pregnancy. Two fetuses, or twins, are common; but eight fetuses, or octuplets, are rare. Premature birth is most likely to happen to babies born from a multiple-birth.

What are the odds of having twins with no family history?

Every one who has ever been born has a family history, no matter what their circumstance.

What are the chances of having twins after aborting twins?

It is the same for any other pregnancy. Abortion does not change the randomness of identical twins or the familiar tendency to have fraternal twins.

How can you increase your chances of having twins?

Fertility drugs that cause more than one egg to mature at ovulation or in vitro fertilization.

Identical twins are caused by unknown factors, when the developing zygote splits in two. Fraternal twins seem to run in some families.

We are not made to carry more than one baby per pregnancy and carrying twins is much more risky for both mom and the babies.

Since the Octomom nightmare two years ago, doctors are being urged not to implant more than one zygote per cycle - the chances of pregnancy seem to be the same (according to British fertility doctors) and the risks are much lower.

Why do so many celebrities have twins?

Answer If twins run in your family then it's a good chance that you too will have twins but it doesn't mean that the first baby will have a twin.

What is the frequency of monozygotic twins versus dizygotic twins?

The frequency of having monozygotic twins (identcal) is about 4 out of every 1000 births. Whereas dizygotic twins (fraternal) is about 12 out of every 1000.

Why do twins have identical characteristics?

Whenever the zygoat (fertilized egg) starts mitosis (cell division) it creates two zygoats. These two zygoats are exactly the same in looks and DNA.

You can have twins and even triplets?

yes you can have twins and triplets, it's a little bit more rare that having just a single birth but still highly possible

Who was the first doctor to successfully separate conjoined twins that were joined together at the head?

Dr. Ben Carson.

However, it's debatable whether or not the operation was a success. Both twins were left severely disabled. Patrick remained in a vegetative state until his death in the early 2000s. Benjamin lives in an institution and never learned to speak or feed himself.

What is the probabilty of twins?

The odds of having twins naturally in 2003 was 2.11% or 1 in 47. The probability of having twins overall has risen drastically since 1980 when it was 1.89% or 1 in 53. So the chances of conceiving twins in 2003 rose 67% from 1980. This drastic increase in twin birth rate has been widely attributed to women waiting longer to conceive, the use of fertility drugs, and the use of in vitro fertilization. Dr. B It all depends on how close to your menslrat cycle you get pregnant.

Can phytoestrogen increase your chances of twins?

No one is quite sure why, but the Yoruba tribe in West Africa has the highest rate of twinning in the world. A study concluded that the mother's diet was the cause, being high in cassava, a type of yam or sweet potato. The peelings of this vegetable are thought to contain phytoestrogen that causes hyperovulation. In addition, a study in 2006 found that women who consume a lot of dairy are five times as likely to have twins.

What are chances of having twins with no history of twins in the family?

Answer

Its very unlikely, but its possible. Its happended a few times in history....... so, probley 1 in 700,000 chance i think.

My dad's mom had two sets of twins i am a girl what are my chances of having twins?

Twins do not run in families except those that result from hyperovulation, Only women inherit this. You will only know if you have yourself tested for this gene. Your father could have passed it to you.

What is the probability of having twin calves?

about 1-4%.

Animal twins

Twins are common in many animal species, such as cats, sheep, ferrets and deer. The incidence of twinning among cattle is about 1-4%, and research is under way to improve the odds of twinning, which can be more profitable for the breeder if complications can be sidestepped or managed. The nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) has identical twins (usually four babies) as its regular reproduction and not as exceptional cases.

Twin calves of the Hereford breed

I hope this can help you.

What is the possibility of two heterozygous parents having identical twins?

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.

My Boyfriends brother just came out gay My boyfriend has the same intelligence as his brother is there a chance he might turn out gay even though he denys it?

Being gay has nothing to do with heredity or intelligence. You should not be worried about your boyfriend being gay just because his brother is.

Who carries the twin genes?

Identical twins are not genetically determined. With fraternal twins there is a very slight genetic component where a man passes the gene for releasing 2 ova to his daughter. Older, taller well-nourished mothers are statistically more likely to have fraternal twins.

Why are transplant between identical twins be more successful than fraternal twins?

I am in the medical field, and if you need a little more detail....Read on down:

Identical twins share an IDENTICAL genotype (genetic make-up). They were the result of a split into two human beings of ONE egg. All of the information on that egg was equally divided to create two people that are identical. The success of ANY transplant is based on how close you can match the genetics. That is why they take samples of blood and marrow, etc., to test. When you are planning to donate organs, they try to type and match the organ to the recipient.

Fraternal twins share FAMILY genetics, but not identical genetics. Family that can donate is desired for being "as close as you can get", very often, but Fraternal Twins do not share the exact same genotype. Fraternal twins are from TWO SEPARATE eggs, fertilized by two different sperm. Each egg and sperm carries different information genetically, and the possibilities are endless as far as creation of a human being, because you have eons of genetic history passed down. It is even possible that Fraternal twins--as with any family member--may not be a good match for a recipient.

At any rate...with Identical Twins, a transplant is more likely to be successful because it is like taking an organ out of one of your "selves" and putting it back into yourself. It should be a perfect match, and identical to the organ that is being replaced.

Who is Braison Chance?

Braison Chance Cyrus is Miley Cyrus's younger brother.

How can one have identical twins?

There are two primary types of twins, Identical and Fraternal.

Identical twins occur when the egg splits after fertilization. To date no indication of a genetic link has been found. Anyone has a chance, though small, of having identical twins.

Fraternal twins occur when more than one egg is dropped during ovulation. This trait can be inherited from the mother's side of the family. Studies have shown that the chances are also increased by being overweight or older.

A friend told me how she conceived and then conceived again 2 days later and had twins Is this possible?

While not common, it does happen fairly regularly. "Fraternal" twins are not typically fertilized by 2 different fathers or at different times, but it is possible. Fraternal twins are the result of the fertilization of 2 of the mother's eggs by different sperm, which means that the two can be very different looking, particularly if they have different fathers. "Identical" twins are the result of a splitting of a single fertilized egg into two individuals.

What are the chances of being pregnant with twins if your husband is an identical twin himself?

The same as anyone else. No genetic marker has been found yet related to identical twins.
