Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dizygotic (fraternal) twins are less genetically similar than monozygotic (identical) twins, as they only share about 50% of their genes, similar to ordinary siblings. Therefore, they are less likely to inherit the same genetic disorders compared to monozygotic twins, who share nearly 100% of their genes.
