Click here to view an animation about identical and fraternal twins.
Does anyone know what type of twins are featured in the picture at the right? How do you know?

I think that the twins are identical because they share the same embryo.
ReplyDeleteThe picture is identical twins because they are in the same embryo, right?
ReplyDeletefraternal because there is 40% more chance lol

So a fetilized egg splits to create twins?
ReplyDeleteso how do some twins get body parts stuck together?
That animation was really helpful in helping me understand how fraternal and identical twins form! Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteYou can tell that the twins are identical because they look alike, they share a placenta and ammion, and, if you click on the picture, on the top, it says identical twins!
Wow.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
This is so complicated...
Are we going to learn about twins in class?

It is so interesting how the egg splits inside of the body
ReplyDeleteThe picure is of identical twins. Thanks for putting this up.
ReplyDeletei think they are of identical twins. i was wondering about this. thx for posting this
ReplyDeleteIs it possible to have natural born triplets or octuplets or something like that?
ReplyDeleteI think they are identicle twins.

This was a really cool video about twins, but which baby will come out first if there are twins in a mother's body? Can doctor's determine which one will come out first?

The picture, I'm pretty sure, shows identical twins, since they're in the same egg. Thanks Leslie!

i think that the picture is identical twins because the share the amnion chorion and placenta. ( did i spell those right?0 are we going to learn about that in class more because that is kind of confusing
ReplyDeletei always wanted to know about identical and fraternal twins. i thought it was really interesting and cool how the egg splits.
ReplyDeleteCan having twins pass on through the generations in your family because I'm a twin, my uncle has a twin and my grandpa had a twin?

Wow, low chance of getting twins. Really cool, it would be awesome if we got to learn this is class.
ReplyDeleteThe twins are probably identical, as they share the same placenta
ReplyDeleteOMG! Thats so interesting!!! I wondered how twins come to life! LOL! But now I know! Thanks Sarah and Ashley! And thanks Leslie for putting it up!
ReplyDeleteHi Leslie,
ReplyDeleteIt's really interesting how an single zygote can turn into identical twins. What's hard to believe though, is that there is a 1% chance of having twins because just in the middle school there are at least 5 pairs of twins.
i think that's pretty cool Shahriyar
ReplyDelete-Annique
thanks leslie! these animations are so helpfull! Its interesting in how when the zygote undergoes mitosis, it can completely split apart. What is the diference? What keeps the 2 cells together after mitosis?
ReplyDeleteMe and my sister are twins
ReplyDeleteAnd we were amazed when we saw how we may have develpoed in our mom's body.
Also you should blog about this amazing video about these birds migrating patterns from

sciencenews.org is also a really helpful site for current science events
there is this article somewhere on the newspaper saying that a woman in brooklyn is always having twins. the first time she had a baby, it was twins. the second time was also twins. the third time, yes, is also twins. shes pregnat with the third one.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting, indeed!
ReplyDeleteNow that I think about it, the idea of twins is so weird and cool
ReplyDeleteLauren
im pretty sure they are
ReplyDeleteidentical..... they share the same embryo, right?
What would octuplets and quadruplets look like? This video was fastinating... I wish I had a twin... :3
ReplyDeleteThey both share a placenta amnion and chorion so they are most likely identical. Is it possible for to fraternal twins to implant near each other and share a placenta?
ReplyDeletethey're identical twins because they're in the same embryo...right?
ReplyDeleteIt is identical because they are in the same embryo. They also look alike. I tested out owen's answer and it worked. If you click on the picture, the link says identical twins somewhere.
ReplyDeleteidentical cuz they are in the same embryo.

Does anyone know how much of a chance there is that the twins have body parts stuck together?
ReplyDeletethanks
