Identical twins do have the same blood group, because they have the same DNA. One egg and one sperm create two people. Fraternal twins may not have the same, though they could, because they have different sets of DNA. Two different eggs, two different sperm, two different people.

Do twins have the same blood type?

Identical twins should. Mutations are the only exception. Semi-identical twins (whether this is possible is still argued) are more likely to have such. Fraternal twins might, but no more likely than siblings having the same blood type (which is, reasonably, common). Fraternal twins with different fathers are less likely to share a blood type, just as would appear with half-siblings. Then again, it is POSSIBLE for you to have the same blood type as your unrelated next door neighbor, but it is not likely. I am just telling you the probability of things.


What are facts about identical twins?

Identical twins are formed when a single fertilized egg splits into two embryos during early development. They share the same genetic makeup, so they are always the same sex and look very similar. Despite their genetic similarities, identical twins can have different personalities, preferences, and traits due to environmental influences and individual experiences.


How many egg cells are used with twins?

It depends on the type of twins If It was identical (monozygotic) twins, one egg is fertilized (As you can see, identical twins have similarity in phenotype (the observable characteristic of an organism) because of development of one zygote divided into two embryos) but if it was non-identical twins, two eggs or more (such as triplets or quadruplets) are fertilized. The twins have differences in phenotype


Do your children have to have same blood as you?

No - children do not have to have the same blood type as the parents. For example, if one parent has blood type A and the other has blood type AB, the child might have A, B or AB blood types. (For the child to have B, the parent with blood type A would need to be heterozygous, Ao)

What is The scientific name for identical twins.?

Identical twins (monozygotic) occur when a single egg, fertilized by a single sperm, splits into two identical halves. Two separate babies with identical DNA are formed. Identical twins are always the same sex and blood type. http://www.twin-pregnancy-and-beyond.com/identical-twins-or-fraternal-twins.html


Why does DNA testing of blood lead to a more reliable match of blood to suspect than does blood typing?

No matter what blood type a suspect is, there are other people with the same blood type. So blood type does not positively identify any single person. By contrast, other than identical twins, no two people have the same DNA.

What type of twins have the greatest similarity in IQ?

MonoZygotic Twins


Why are DNA test carried out rather than blood test?

DNA tests are used because they are more exact than blood tests. Many people can have the same blood type and cross types. Every person has individual DNA, except identical twins.


What are facts about twins?

Same (or mostly the same) facial features ("looks"), same blood type, and same eye color.


Which type of twins are Cara and Mady Gosselin - identical or fraternal?

Cara and Mady Gosselin are faternal twins.


If you are an identical twin do you share a bag of fluid inside the mothers womb?

That depends on the type of twins. Fraternal twins usually have separate amniotic sacs. Identical twins usually share the amniotic sac.


What type of twins share the greatest genetic overlap?

Identical twins share the greatest genetic overlap as they are genetically identical. They develop from a single fertilized egg that splits into two embryos.


Are identical twins the same in their genes?

Nope. Research has shown that DNA in twins is different, especially in copy number varitations, which refers to when a gene exists in multiple copies, or a set of letters in the DNA is actually missing. These variations are suspected to lead to increased defense against some infections, or vulnerability to others. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/11/health/11real.htmlTheir genes are very similar.Because the two embryos are the result of a single egg/sperm combination, they have the same genetic origins. They have the same DNA. however, they don't have the same finger printsAlmost! While the sequence begins identical, epigenetics (environmental type factors) appear to cause them to change over time.


Im a twin could you have twins?

Yes particularly if your first set of twins are fraternal (aka non-identical twins) as these are the type of twins that are said to have a hereditary connection.
