The Design of Identical Twins 🥰| How Twins Are Formed

The Design of Identical Twins | How identical Twins Are Formed #shorts Identical twins result from the fertilization of one egg, by one sperm which subsequently divides into two separate embryos Also called monozygotic twins They are always of the same sex and look exactly alike Types of identical twins There are different types of identical twins depending on when the fertilized egg divide. The earlier the division occurs the more independent the babies will be. When the division occurs within the first 72 hours after fertilization, results in two separate blastocysts eventually being implanted. They will have a different placenta and different amniotic sac. This is referred to as dichorionic diamniotic identical twins When the division occurs between 4 to 8 days it results in two babies sharing the same placenta but each with separate amniotic sacs When the division occurs between 8 to 13 days after fertilization, both twins will share the same placenta and the same amniotic sac Attempts at division after 13 days result in incomplete twins and the formation of conjoint twins and monsters.
