What are fraternal twins?

2 Answers

Fraternal twins develop from 2 sets of eggs and sperm and can be either same sex or opposite sex. Identical twins develop from one egg and sperm and are always the same sex.

Fraternal twins are either of a pair of twins who, as a result of developing from separately fertilized ova, are genetically distinct and not necessarily of the same sex or more similar in appearance than other siblings. In other words, 2 separate eggs fertilized by separate sperms.
