Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Monozygotic twins are identical twins who develop from a single fertilized egg that splits into two embryos. They are genetically identical, so they would be more likely to be very close in crime-relevant measures such as level of aggression and verbal skills. Dizygotic or fraternal twins develop from two separate eggs fertilized by two different sperm and are no more similar genetically than non-twin siblings. Dualgotic and polygotic are not recognized terms in the field of twin studies.
