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 not necessarily identical. They can be fraternal as well. Identical twins result when one fertilized egg splits in two. Fraternal twins result from two fertilized eggs.
Identical twins are the result of a single fertilized embryo splitting in two at an early stage and forming two viable embryos. As such, identical twins have identical DNA. Fraternal twins are the result of two distinct fertilized embryos being viable. As such, they have different DNA. They could even be different sexes.
Identical twins are genetically the same, because they come from the same fertilized egg/sperm cell zygote, which happens to split into two viable zygotes. Fraternal twins, however, come from two different egg/sperm cell zygotes, that are concurrently fertilized and remain viable.
Fraternal twins started from two separate eggs in the mother. By comparison, identical twins started from one egg but it divided at the first stage of development into two separate zygotes (and thus two separate babies).
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.
Identical twins come from the same fertilized egg; fraternal twins come from 2 fertilized eggs.
Identical twins come from the same fertilized egg; fraternal twins come from 2 fertilized eggs.
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.
How do fraternal twins form? Answer one egg from each ovary is fertilized.
They are not fraternal twins (two different fertilized eggs implanted), they are identical twins (one single fertilized egg which divide into two separate embryos)
Identical Twins are the result of a single fertilized egg spliting in two producing two genetically identical children. Fraternal twins are the result of the mother producing two eggs each fertilized by a different sperm from the father. This can result in opposite sex twins.
Twins are not necessarily identical. They can be fraternal as well. Identical twins result when one fertilized egg splits in two. Fraternal twins result from two fertilized eggs.
Dizygotic twins, also known as fraternal twins, develop from two separate eggs fertilized by two different sperm. Monozygotic twins, also known as identical twins, develop from a single fertilized egg that splits into two embryos. Dizygotic twins are no more genetically similar than any other siblings, whereas monozygotic twins share the same genetic makeup.
Identical twins are formed when a fertilized egg splits in two and separates, creating two embryos. Fraternal twins form when two separate eggs are fertilized.
Twins from different eggs are fraternal twins. They are siblings with the same birthdate. They are twins, but not identical, and can even be girl and boy. It is the same process taking place as a single child that a woman becomes pregnant with, but the process happens with two children at the same time. The woman releases two eggs that month instead of one, and they both are fertilized. That is how this type of twin is produced.
Two separate eggs are fertilized. Dizygotic twins are the same as fraternal twins.
