As dizygotic twins, Jewel and Bjork

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As dizygotic or fraternal twins, Jewel and Bjork come from two separate eggs that were fertilized by two separate sperm cells. Therefore, they share about half of their genes, just like any other siblings who are not twins. They are not genetically identical like monozygotic or identical twins (choice A) and did not come from the same fertilized egg (choice B). While they may share some phenotypes, such as similar hair or eye color, they do not share all phenotypes (choice C) as phenotypes can be influenced by both genetic and environmental factors.
