DNA testing...though to me, it makes more sense to wait until they're born before worrying about whether they're identical or not.

I'm pregnant with twins. How do I know if I'm having identical or fraternal twins?

The ultrasound can determine if they are fraternal or identical. If they are identical then they will share a placenta and they may even share an amniotic sac. If they are fraternal they will have separate placentas. Sometimes it is difficult to see because of the membrane but the ultrasound is sophisticated and they normally can tell.


Is a 25 degree angle congruent to a 25 degree angle?

Yes. They're so identical that you can't tell them apart. In fact, it sounds like you're talking about the same angle twice.


How many twins was recorded in the bible?

I know one pear of twins in the bible, it is in the book of Genesis . the twins are Jacob and Esau.Answer #2:There is also Doubting Thomas, who was called 'Thomas Didymus' ('Didymus' is Greek for 'twin'), but (strangely, having made such a point of it) there is no record of who his twin was. Curiouser still, , 'Thomas' is derived from the Aramaic word for ... (wait for it) ... 'twin'! Why such a fuss to tell us he is a twin, but not who is twin was? Unless, of course, it was obvious to those who wrote about him, but didn't want to shout about it. It would explain why he was so hard to convince about the nature of his brother...


Have there been identical twins where one has anorexia and the other doesn't?

I have been battling against the disorder with ups and downs for the past 5 years and my identical twin has watched me all this time with frustration, anger and fright. She has always been a healthy weight despite her stages of depression due to my disorder. However currently she has dropped a lot of weight. Friends tell me she is bingeing at night time. I notice at meal times now that she eats VERY little and she has a very vigorous exercise regime; she runs for 40 minutes, goes on the cross-trainer for 30 minutes and then finishes with about half an hour of stomach exercises...DAILY! She is perhaps mirroring what i was doing in front of her. However i am more concerned as at 12 years of age i did not have access to gyms, weights and i was still served food. The danger at 17 is that now she can go to the gym whenever she wants, she has the right to eat what she wants. To answer your question, I think twins take things in turns... situations normally occur one after the other. It does sound bizarre but I am 90% certain that this is true. Although we are different people I think we both rely on maternal care. I perhaps lacked that as an adolescent but in the past five years our mother's focus has been concentrated on finding care for me...Katharine has therefore felt alone and lost. I think this is another reason why the anorexia has developed in her... it is after all based around attention.

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.

Do fraternal twins look alike?

Usually but not always. They can even be different sexes. Identical twins are fromed from one fertilized egg which splits into two and so genetically they have the same DNA and are therefore identical. Fraternal twins are formed from two separate eggs fertilized by two separate sperm cells, and are called 'twins' simply because they share the womb during their development. Otherwise, they are no more similar than normal brothers, sisters or a brother and sister.
