Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dizygotic twins, also known as fraternal twins, develop from two separate eggs fertilized by two different sperm. As a result, they share about 50% of their genes, the same as ordinary siblings. Unlike identical twins, they can be of different sexes and may have different physical features. They also occur more frequently than monozygotic twins. Therefore, option B is the best choice.
