Identical twins are not genetically determined. With fraternal twins there is a very slight genetic component where a man passes the gene for releasing 2 ova to his daughter. Older, taller well-nourished mothers are statistically more likely to have fraternal twins.

Both parents carry the genes for twins. A predisposition to releasing multiple eggs or a genetic tendency for multiple births can increase the likelihood of having fraternal twins, while identical twins occur randomly.
