What is the probability of having twins if your husband is a twin?
Identical twins happen by chance only; 4 per 1000 births or 0.004 probability. Fraternal twin probability is increased only if it is on the mother's side; so this does you affect your circumstance (from what you have stated). The chance of fraternal twins is 1 in 60 or 0.017. So, your probability of identical twins is 0.004 and fraternal twins is 0.017 (BTW, I have triplets).
What are the chances of identical twins having twins themselves?
Women who are themselves fraternal twins have a 10% chance of producing twins, identical twin women have only a 0.6% probability of having a twin birth.
What is the probability of a twin to have twins?
if twins run in the family u are more likely to have twins but most likely fraternal because identical twins are just a very unique coincidence
Why identical twins are similar?
If they were not then they would not be called identical twins!
Why are identical twins and fraternal twins not the exact same?
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.
If the probability of getting identical is 0.004 while the probability of fraternal twins is 0.023 then what is the probability that a person chosen at random will not be a twin?
1- P(identical) - P(fraternal) =1-0.004-0.023 =0.973 The probability of being a identical or fraternal twin plus the probability of not being a twin has to add to 1. so 1- probability of being twins=probability of not being a twin ;-)

If the probability of getting identical twins is 0.004 while the probability of fraternal twins is 0.023 then what is the probability that a person chosen will be a twin?
P(twin)=P(identical)+P(fraternal) P(twin)=0.004 +0.023 P(twin)=0.027 [That's 27 out of 1,000 cases, or 54 persons out of 1027.]
What are two horses with identical genes called?
Identical twins. Although horses sometimes have twins I'm not sure if they have identical twins.
Why identical twins are similar?
If they were not then they would not be called identical twins!
How are twins identical?
Twins are identical because they come from the same egg.
Why are identical twins and fraternal twins not the exact same?
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 you get identical and non identical twins?
Identical twins are formed when one fertilized eggs splits. Non-identical twins are formed when two separate eggs are fertilized.
If I had identical twins 3 years ago what are my changes of having another set of identical twins?
The same as when you had the first set of identical twins.
A zygote that separates into two clusters of cells insted of just one prduce?
Non identical twins.
