Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Animal research has shown that variation in oxygen levels can prompt monozygotic twinning. Other environmental factors that have been linked to monozygotic twinning in animal research include chemical exposure, stress, and certain reproductive technologies, but these are not listed as options in the given choices. Early fertilization of the ovum and young maternal age may increase the likelihood of dizygotic (fraternal) twinning, rather than monozygotic twinning. Poor diet is not typically cited as a factor that influences twinning.
