  • When you have identical twins, they are monozygotic, meaning they are formed from one single zygote. Identical twins also share the same DNA and thats why they always look identical to each other. When you have fraternal twins, they are dizygotic, meaning they are formed from 2 individual zygotes. The DNA of dizygotic twins is often unique to each sibling. If you enjoyed this educational video by Dr. Sarah Finch, don't forget to like and subscribe for more interesting biology shorts!

    Just found out on Monday that we are expecting fraternal twins. Lost our last child do to dandy walker and double outlet right ventricle in 2019. Now we’re being blessed with two and so far everything looks healthy.

    Fraternal twin here!!! I was supposed to be baby B, but I pushed my sister out of the way right when they cut the cord. My mother likes to joke that I have been evil form the start.

    Great explanation. Thanks. My wife and I became parents of natural fraternal twin girls 25 years ago. And with our firstborn, a boy, and then our twins, it's been the greatest thing I've ever been a part of. And our son and daughter in law just made my wife and I first-time grandparents...with a beautiful, healthy granddaughter!!

    I was in the same class as Fraternal Twins, it was a boy and a girl and what was crazy was that they had older siblings that were 1 year older Fraternal Twins, a boy and girl also. 2 sets of twins in 1 family. My schools tuition was about 25k a year now multiply that times 4 at 12 years.

    Thank you for the detailed way of explaining the difference between Mono and Dizygotic twins, Doc! Love it!! It seems like a talk show in a medical way! Love you!

    Fraternal twins can look very similar, me and my twin often get people telling us that they thought we were identical twins but we are fraternal twins.

    14 weeks pregnant with fraternal twins, I’m shocked and kind of nervous because I really want it to be a healthy pregnancy and I want to make sure my babies are healthy... it’s my first pregnancy as well!
