If they were not then they would not be called identical 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 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.
They are twins!
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.
Yes, non-identical twins are often referred to as fraternal twins. These twins develop from two separate eggs fertilized by two different sperm cells, resulting in genetic differences that can make them look less alike than identical twins.
Twins that are joined together are referred to as conjoined twins. They are identical twins who are connected in some way, often sharing organs or body parts.
Genetic testing is the only way to positively identify what type of twins you are having. Identical or monozygotic (MZ) twins occur when a single egg is fertilized to form one zygote (hence, "monozygotic") which then divides into two separate embryos. Half-identical or semi-identical twins (also referred to as "half twins") are the result of a very rare form of twinning in which the twins inherit exactly the same genes from their mother but different genes from their father. Fraternal or dizygotic (DZ) twins (also referred to as "non-identical twins" and in cases of females, occasionally sororal twins) usually occur when two fertilized eggs are implanted in the uterus wall at the same time. When two eggs are independently fertilized by two different sperm cells, fraternal twins result.
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!
The Comedy of Errors is about two sets of identical twins. Twelfth Night is also about twins.
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.
Twins are identical because they come from the same egg.
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 are formed when one fertilized eggs splits. Non-identical twins are formed when two separate eggs are fertilized.
The same as when you had the first set of identical twins.
Non identical twins.
