I'm an identical twin and I'm wondering if there are any others out there. (Identical or fraternal, or triplets or multiples).

I'm a fraternal twin. People said my brother's the nice twin, and I'm the evil twin. Lol.

In identical twins one is is a natural clone of the other.  If science ever really created an artificial clone, it would have the same right to life as anyone else.  But I do not expect a responsible scientist to do that.  What they're up to is creating stem cells for use in curing a variety of diseases.  Those who oppose this are phonies about their respect for life.

I often tell people if I was any happier I'd be twins.\nMy faith in God and Jesus Christ satisfies.

Twinning isn't that rare in humans, its now something like 30% per 1,000 births. Recent research has suggested that a genetic predisposition may exist but the exact cause for the splitting of a zygote or embryo is still unknown.

I don't know the statistics, but I have a brother and sister who were born on the same day 2 years apart.\n\nCome to think of it, I have a brother and a nephew born on the same day many many years apart.

With identical twins - the other twin will always be female, as they are a clone of the original female.\nWith the fraternal twin - the other will be either female or male 50/50.

I would say the odds are low, but not zero. I have twin brothers, and they have the same hair color, but they aren't identical in everything. Throughout the years (they will be 21) they have changed. They still look like each other, but one is taller then the other, and/or one is skinnier then the other. They are still identical, but factors in their life have molded them to what they are today.\n\nHair color is tricky. And usually the hair color you are born with isn't what you end up with. Hormones are to thank, and that would be the only reason why the hair would be different...a slight characteristic flaw in the hormones.\n\nThey SAY twins are twins, but coming from personal experience...no one can be EXACTLY the same. We are all unique, even if someone looks like us.

I am not a parent of identical twins, however I am a twin. My sister and I had the same problem when we were kids and whenever one of us went to a party by ourself, our parents would take the other one of us out and do something with us so we didnt feel left out. In the end, it worked out for both of us and we were allowed to have our own identities. Your twins need a best friend beside each other.

Yes, a couple of years after LeAnn Rimes came out and I even had her haircut--we could've passed for twins!! ;-)

I think he means clone.\n\nIt would be murder.\n\nJust because you have the same genetic code (as does an identical twin) doesn't mean you're the same person.

Asthma has a genetic factor, among some others.\nyou and your twin (assuming that your are identical twins) share the same genetic information. In case that you are not identical you still share 50% of your genetic information with each of your brothers of sisters and maybe some of this shared information is the susceptibility to develop asthma\nYou share some but not all the genetic information with your other brother and sister and maybe some of the genes that made you susceptible for developing asthma were not in them.\nif maybe you had in the future more brothers or sisters some of them could share the susceptibility to asthma too. \nand maybe your brthers and sisters have other susceptibilities that you don't have\n\nstick to your treatment and you'll do fine

I don't have enough "characters" here to describe it. Suffice it to say, that this year has been remarkable. I have broken a heart, had my broken, and met a person that could be my twin. All of which happened in the latter part of the year. I'll leave it at that...amazing.

There are two types of twins- fraternal and identical.  Identical twins occur when one egg which is fertilized by one sperm, splits.  Fraternal twins occur when 2 seperate eggs are fertilized by two seperate sperm.

The father's DNA is the determining factor. Since you and your sister had the same father, you have the same genes.  Therefore, it is quite possible for you and your sister to be identical.

My brother and I both grew up knowing from the start that we were adopted.  Yes we are biological brother and sister.  I don't feel that it affected me at all rather than the void of not knowing where I came from.  I think that I keep people at more of a distance now that I have been reunited with my birthfamily (due to alot of deceit and unanswered questions).

>>>>>I'm male, so I shouldn't be displaying mosaicism...\n\n\n\n\nAre you sure? Have you tested whether you are a natural chimaera? (Now that could be a cool research project for a molecular bio major). Nobody is quite certain how common chimaerism is in humans but best guesses put the figure at greater than 1 in 100.\n\nAny history of twins on your family?
