They are twins!
Identical and fraternal twins typically share many similar characteristics
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.
Fraternal twins are more popular.
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.
If two eggs are fertilsed you get fraternal twins whereas if one egg is fertilised and that develops into two individuals, you get identical twins.
Identical and fraternal twins typically share many similar characteristics
Twins don't always think alike, whether they be identical, fraternal, or even simese. It depends on there personalities, not their looks.
There is no precise percentage of fraternal or identical twins but it is estimated that 2/3 of all twins are fraternal where as 1/3 of twins are identical.
The girl and boy twins are fraternal, meaning they are not identical.
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 much more similar in both extraversion and neuroticism compared to fraternal twins. This suggests a higher genetic contribution to these traits in identical twins due to their identical genetic makeup, whereas fraternal twins share only about 50% of their genetic material on average.
Fraternal twins are more popular.
Female twins that are not identical are called fraternal twins. Fraternal twins occur when two separate eggs are fertilized by two separate sperm. Maternal twins refer to twins that share the same mother but can include both identical and fraternal twins.
Twins can have very similar DNA, especially in identical twins who come from a single fertilized egg that splits into two. On the other hand, fraternal twins are no more similar genetically than any other siblings. Some slight genetic differences can arise due to mutations that happen after the initial egg fertilization.
Identical twins come from the same fertilized egg; fraternal twins come from 2 fertilized eggs.
