In the case of identical twins, a single embryo divides into two completely separate and genetically identical embryos. Each embryo continues to grow and develop individually, but with the exact same genes as the other.

On an interesting side note: Children of identical twins are genetically as closely related to their parent's identical twin as they are to their identical twin parent. Genetically, both twins are the parent of the other's children. Also, their children are genetically half-siblings.
