If i breed conjoined twins with other conjoined twins will there eventually be a 4 headed person?
Conjoined twins cannot be bred. This condition is not genetic.A set of male conjoined twins fathering children with a set of female conjoined twins will almost certainly produce children who are not even twins at all.
What is the name for twins joined together at some part of there body?
Conjoined twins.
What gene or chromosome is affected by conjoined twins?
There is no genetic component that results in conjoined twins. They are created by an imperfect separation of identical twin concepti.
What do we call twins that fail to separate at birth?
Twins that fail to separate at birth are called conjoined twins. They are physically connected to each other at birth due to incomplete division of the fertilized egg.
What are the 2 kinds of twins?
Generally fraternal twins are more common. For fraternal twins to occur twins must diverge, but differentiate upon becoming separate entities. Identical twins are rarer, in which the two siblings are of the same gender and are exactly alike upon birth. Rarer so are conjoined, or "Siamese" twins. This occurs when twins are born partially or extremely fused together. There is only a 25% survival chance for a conjoined twin. Most were only connected by gristle and flesh, and could have been easily separated easily, were they in modern society.
