Is there a such thing as twins being 11 months apart?
Yes, twins can be born 11 months apart, but not in the traditional sense of being identical or fraternal twins. This can occur if one twin is born prematurely, followed by a subsequent pregnancy resulting in another birth months later. Another scenario could involve a woman conceiving again shortly after giving birth, especially if she has hyperovulation, leading to a second pregnancy while still nursing the first child. However, these cases are rare and not typical of how twins are generally defined.
What do you call 7 kids born the same time?
Seven kids born at the same time are called septuplets. This term is derived from the Latin prefix "sept-" meaning seven. Septuplets are a rare occurrence in multiple births, and they can be either identical or fraternal, depending on how they were conceived.
Can someone have two heads?
Yes, a person can have two heads due to a rare medical condition known as conjoined twins, specifically when the twins are joined at the head, a condition called craniopagus. These individuals share certain bodily systems and organs but have distinct brains and personalities. While it's extremely rare, conjoined twins with two heads have been documented in medical history.
How rare is a femoral hernia for a 41 year old female weighing 8 stone and what are the true risks of strangulation while waiting for surgery?
Don't know how rare, but as a 38 yr old woman, I unknowingly had mine for eight years and carried twins to full term before anything happened.
How rare is a hole in one in golf?
That depends on which hole. Shorter holes will have more common hole in ones than long ones. In general, still very rare.
Are quadruplets always identical or always fraternal or can they be either?
Quads can be identical, fraternal, or a pair of identical twins. Identical quads are rare- that would require 1 egg divide into 2, and then divide again into two. Most quads are fraternal.
How Do Fraternal Twins Occur and Identical Twins Occur?
Fraternal twins (dizygotic twins) are simply two fertilized eggs that are implanted in the uterus at the same time. Identical twins (monozygotic twins) is one fertilized egg that separates into two embryos. In most cases, identical twins share one placenta, but have separate amniotic sacs. In some cases, they have two placentas. In rare cases, they share both the placenta and the amniotic sac.
Can conjoined twins be different gender?
Nature has various safety valves. That is one of them. Conjoined Twins are identical twins with a natural connective bond, therefore they always take the same sex. Fraternal twins, like the fictional Bobbseys, can be Boy and Girl.
How is a fraternal twin different than other twins?
Fraternal means "brother-like." Identical twins result from a single fertilzed egg dividing into two separate embryos so the twins share all DNA. Fraternal twins result from two different eggs being fertilized by two different sperm at the same time. The babies are then born at the same time, but only share 25%of their DNA with each other, which is the same amount that siblings born at different times share. The word fraternal used in social organizations, like "the fraternal order of"...refers to the thought that the members are like brothers to each other. Modern french uses the word frere to mean brother.
Can identical twins be of different sexes?
They can be. While identical twins always have to be the same gender, fraternal twins usually are not. However this is not always the case. Identical twins occur because they inhabit the same egg. Fraternal twins because two eggs were fertilized at the same time. So fraternal twins could be the same gender, but usually they are of the opposite gender.
Clomid and twins?
Yes! I took Clomid for less than six cycles and the two times I actually ovulated I released more than one egg. In fact I am currently eight weeks pregnant with fraternal twins right now due to the clomid! So if you don't want twins, think twice! this is what i found on the web!Twin pregnancies may occur in as many as 5% of the women who use Clomid. Triplet pregnancies are far more rare.
Dads a non identical twin can his son have twins?
it's possible but twins are rare
Are conjoined twins always identical?
Yes. Conjoined twins form when the fertilized egg starts to split, but does not completely split into two. Improved. There are no known cases of opposite sex Conjoined twins but that does not mean it can not happen. it is generally believed that identical twins means actually identical but the correct term now is actually monzygotic twins meaning one sack the reason they use this term is because to simply put it identical twins is actually rare when twins are born of the same sack Mono they are rarely actually identical and as such it is possible for a monozygotic twins to not completely sperate but in rare cases actual identical twins can in fact be of seperate sexual phenotype's they usually have some other defect
How do you determine who is the father if identical twins have same dna?
Identical twins will have the same father, so a paternity test is done just like for any kid. With fraternal twins, it is possible, but very, very rare, to have different fathers for the babies.
Are twins that can only be two girls or two boys identical?
No. In order for them to be identical they needed to start off as the same cell and divide so at first their DNA is identical meaning they have the same sex. During development slight changes may occur but the sex always stays the same. Boy-girl twins are always two different cells meaning that they are not identical. The term for boy-girl twins is furturnal. You can however have boy-boy twins and girl-girl twins that are not identical and they are also called furternal. So basically, identical twins start off as one cell that divides and furternal are two individual cells. There is polar body twinning, that's when the egg splits before fertilization, and that can cause a male and a female. This is called semi identical twins or half twins. They share 75% of their genetic markers.
How do you know what kind of twins they are?
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.
Can dogs give birth to twins?
Yes they can but it's extremely rare. Most dogs usually give birth to single puppies in one litter but sometimes though, they can have two puppies born in the same sac which you would call twins but the identical kind not fraturnal. Just like humans, dogs can have sets of identical twins or fraternal twins. But the chances are, when your dogs is pregnant she may only have single puppies and no twins. But in one out of a million dog pregancies people have reported that their dogs gave birth to twins. It's rare but it's quite possible.
