Twins Fraternal twins – non-identical Identical – are the same

What makes us who we are?. Where does all that come from? (What you are born with) (The things you do after your born)

What are the twins? twins are two offspring resulting from the same pregnancy, usually born in close succession. They can be the same or different sex.

Twins

What are twins? Two children born at the same time (mother goes into labor once)

Identical twins vs. Fraternal twins Identical twins – One sperm (dad) fertilizes one egg (mom) Fertilized egg splits and forms two babies that are genetically identical Fraternal twins – Two sperm (dad) fertilizes two eggs (mom) Each fertilized egg develops independently in the mom until birth (same as brothers or sisters, but born at the same time; can even be different genders)

What are the chances of having twins? Only 1-2% chance of having twins Certain conditions may increase those chances – Ex. Medications (fertility drugs that increase the number of egg cells released each month)

Special Cases Conjoined (Siamese) twins – Formed when the fertilized egg (zygote) does not split completely for identical twins
