I am in the medical field, and if you need a little more detail....Read on down:
Identical twins share an IDENTICAL genotype (genetic make-up). They were the result of a split into two human beings of ONE egg. All of the information on that egg was equally divided to create two people that are identical. The success of ANY transplant is based on how close you can match the genetics. That is why they take samples of blood and marrow, etc., to test. When you are planning to donate organs, they try to type and match the organ to the recipient.
Fraternal twins share FAMILY genetics, but not identical genetics. Family that can donate is desired for being "as close as you can get", very often, but Fraternal Twins do not share the exact same genotype. Fraternal twins are from TWO SEPARATE eggs, fertilized by two different sperm. Each egg and sperm carries different information genetically, and the possibilities are endless as far as creation of a human being, because you have eons of genetic history passed down. It is even possible that Fraternal twins--as with any family member--may not be a good match for a recipient.
At any rate...with Identical Twins, a transplant is more likely to be successful because it is like taking an organ out of one of your "selves" and putting it back into yourself. It should be a perfect match, and identical to the organ that is being replaced.
Identical twins come from one egg and one sperm. Fraternal twins come from two eggs and two sperm.
If two (or more) eggs are fertilised and develop together you will get fraternal twins. Identical twins are the result of a single fertilised egg dividing into two embryos.
The distance between identical points on a wave is called wavelength.
Ferternal twins don't look alike, but twins do

Canada's first successful kidney transplant between identical twins was in 1958.
Joseph Murray performed the first successful transplant, a kidney transplant between identical twins, in 1954, successful because no immunosuppression was necessary in genetically identical twins.

The ideas have kept on rolling on !Joseph Murray performed the first successful transplant, a kidney transplant between identical twins, in 1954, successful because no immunosuppression was necessary in genetically identical twins. But after this resaerch showed that this only happened becasue the twqins had identical immune systems so they wouldn't reject the organ. They then came up with immunosuppressive . Hi Caitlin :)
Either 1963, 1948, 1982, and 1975 (it's only one of them)
The only way to definitively determine if twins are identical or fraternal is through genetic testing. Identical twins share 100% of their DNA, while fraternal twins share about 50% on average, just like regular siblings. Physical similarities alone are not enough to distinguish between the two types of twins.
If two (or more) eggs are fertilised and develop together you will get fraternal twins. Identical twins are the result of a single fertilised egg dividing into two embryos.
