FERTILISATION EARLY DEVELOPMENT OF EMBRYO AND IMPLANTATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Fraternal twins (not identical) occur when two ova (eggs) are released and each are fertilized with a different sperm.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Two separate eggs (ova) are fertilised by two separate sperm, resulting in fraternal or ‘dizygotic’ (two-cell) twins. These babies will be no more alike than siblings born at separate times. The babies can be either the same sex or different sexes, with the odds roughly equal for each.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fraternal twins who end up being identical is a small, often-debated percentage-between 3% and 20% usually.

Detailed explanation-3: -Because fraternal, or dizygotic, twins are 2 separate fertilized eggs, they usually develop 2 separate amniotic sacs, placentas, and supporting structures. Identical, or monozygotic, twins may or may not share the same amniotic sac, depending on how early the single fertilized egg divides into 2.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fraternal twins, also known dizygotic (DZ) or nonidentical twins, are twins that result from two separate eggs released from the ovary and fertilized by two different sperm cells within the same menstrual cycle. The two fertilized eggs implant in the uterus and develop during one pregnancy.
