No, your husbands genetic ability for twins does not pass to you. It would pass onto any child you will have together. If you have the multiple birth trait in your family, you and your husband would have a high chance, but since it is only your husband any -daughters- you have may produce multiple births. The males will only pass the trait to the next generation, The mother is the one who's chances of twins is what matters in the pregnancy. The mother either has a genetic trait to release more than one egg (fraternal twins or more depending on the number of fertile eggs) or the single egg (for scientifical unknown reasons) will split causing identical twins, in extremely rare cases (1 out of 500,000 births) identical triplets. Hope this helps.:)

No, the likelihood of having twins is not genetically influenced by an uncle being a twin. The chances of having twins are influenced by factors like maternal age, family history of twins, and assisted reproductive technology.

There may be no connection to your odds of having twins and the fact that your uncle is a twin. It depends on whose side of the family the uncle is on. If the uncle is a fraternal twin on your mother's side, then your odds are slightly increased compared to the general population. If the uncle is an identical twin or on your father's side, your odds of having twins are the same as the general population, roughly 1:80.

Can dna tell if your a twin?

Yes, DNA testing can determine if someone is a twin by comparing the genetic material from the twins. Identical twins will have the same DNA, while fraternal twins will share about 50% of their DNA, similar to siblings. DNA testing can provide information about the likelihood of someone being a twin.


What is the chance of having twins if your grandmother and grandfather were both fraternal twins and your half sister had twins AND you have a half sis and half bro that are fraternal twins?

The chances of having twins can be influenced by genetics, but it's not guaranteed. In this scenario, with multiple twins in the family, there may be a slightly higher likelihood of having twins due to a genetic predisposition, but it's not definite. Other factors like age, ethnicity, and lifestyle also play a role in the likelihood of having twins.


Does twin telepathy happen in identcal twins more then fretenal twins?

There is no scientific evidence to support the concept of twin telepathy. Identical twins may share a closer bond due to their genetic similarity, but telepathy, which involves communication without physical senses, has not been proven to occur more frequently in identical twins compared to fraternal twins or any other siblings.


Are most gay people twins?

No, most gay people are not twins. Sexual orientation is not determined by having a twin sibling. It is influenced by a combination of genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors. Twins can have different sexual orientations just like non-twin siblings.


What gene or chromosome is affected by conjoined twins?
