How are twins born?
When twins or more children are born from the same egg, they are called identical. This happens when one egg is fertilized by one sperm. After this the fertilized egg divides into two or more parts, which is rare. Even the faces and nature of these children match. At the same time, children born from different eggs are called fraternal. This happens due to two or more eggs being fertilized by different sperm. In simple language, when two different eggs get fertilized in the womb or when one fertilized egg divides into two embryos, twins are born.
