Twins cannot actually feel each others pain.

It's fiction that twins can feel each others pain as there's no way for twins to feel each others pain.

Twins can have the same IQ and Identical Twins are most likely to share and have the same IQ as each other than fraternal twins.

Mirror twins are identical twins whose features appear asymmetrically or on the opposite sides.

There is no specific test used to diagnose mirror twins.

A DNA test can confirm whether twins are identical, but there are no markers related to mirror twins.

Rather, the condition is self-identified.

When twins have opposite features from their sibling, they may refer to themselves as mirror twins.

The gender that is most common in twins is female.

Female twins are more common than male twins.

Twins are formed when when more than one egg is fertilized.

Twins can also can happen when one egg is fertilized and then splits into 2 or more embryos that grow into 2 or more babies.

When one fertilized egg splits into 2, the babies are called identical twins.

Identical twins form when a single fertilized egg splits into two.

Identical twins look almost exactly alike and share the exact same genes.

 Most identical twins happen by chance.

Fraternal twins occur when two, separate eggs are fertilized by two, separate sperm.

The 4 types of twins are identical twins, non identical, fraternal twins and Mono Mono Twins.

Mono Mono Twins are Identical Twins which share the same amniotic sac and placenta in the utero.

Mono Mono Twins develop when the embryo does not split until after the amniotic sac is formed.

Identical twins have the same blood type while fraternal can have the same blood type or have different blood types.

Identical twins don't have the same fingerprints.

Although identical twins are the same in most every way the identical twins fingerprints are always different from each other.

The 3 types of twins are Fraternal Twins, Conjoined Twins and Identical Twins.

Identical twins can have a different eye color although most identical twins have the same eye color or at least near same eye color.

Twins will sometimes skip a generation but twins don't always skip a generation.

Twins don't really skip a generation as that is a misconception.

Twins can however skip a generation but that does not always happen and there's no evidence that suggests that twins are most likely to occur after every other generation.

Anyone can have twins although women in their late 30's or over age 30 have a higher chance of having twins than younger mothers.

The reason women over 30 or in their late 30's are more apt to have twins is because they are more likely to release more than one egg during ovulation than younger women.

Women that are between ages 35 and 40 who already have given birth have an even higher chance of conceiving twins.

During pregnancy twins are made and formed when one fertilized egg (ovum) splits and develops into two babies with exactly the same genetic information and to form fraternal or dizygotic twins, two eggs (ova) are fertilized by two sperm and produce two genetically unique children.

Conception of babies happen when a sperm fertilizes an egg to form an embryo.

However, if there are two eggs present in the womb at the time of fertilization or the fertilized egg splits into two separate embryos, a woman can become pregnant with twins.

Twins do sometimes fight in the womb as it's been shown on some ultrasounds of twin pregnancies that twins have been kicking each other, punching each other and it shows to be that the twins are boxing each other in the mothers womb.

Twins do see each other and interact with each other in the womb once they have eyes and can see somewhat.

Twins have even been seen cuddling each other in the womb on an ultrasound so they are aware of each other when in the womb.

Mothers of twins do typically live longer than mothers who only give birth to one baby at a time.

Although having twins does not mean you'll live longer but you have a higher chance of living longer when you have twins as opposed to just having one baby.

The reason it is bad to have twins is because there can be more complications when carrying twins and birthing twins than there is with just carrying or birthing one baby.

However there's nothing you can do to prevent twins and once you have twins you have to birth them regardless.

Mothers with twin pregnancies are more likely to have pregnancy health problems and complications like gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia, premature labor and bleeding.

Twins are rare.

Having twins is a rare thing to happen during pregnancy but it's not as rare as having multiples or triplets or more.

Everyone has the same chance of having identical twins: about 1 in 250. Identical twins do not run in families.

But there are some factors that make having non-identical twins more likely: non-identical twins are more common in some ethnic groups, with the highest rate among Nigerians and the lowest among Japanese.

It is estimated that 1 in 250 natural pregnancies will naturally result in twins.

While twin pregnancies can happen by chance, there are some factors that may increase your odds of having two babies at the same time.

The rarest type of twins are Monoamniotic-monochorionic Twins as these  types of twins share a chorion, placenta, and an amniotic sac.

This is the rarest type of twin, and it means a riskier pregnancy as the babies can get tangled in their own umbilical cords.

In 99.9% of cases boy/girl twins are non-identical.

However, in some extremely rare cases resulting from a genetic mutation, identical twins from an egg and sperm which began as male (XY) can develop into a male / female pair.

And women who are fraternal twins have a 1 in 60 chance of having twins, and men who are fraternal twins have a 1 in 125 chance of fathering twins.
