Yes exactly and they also come out as twins.. no matter what. So basically you get quads but you have to be careful they do not get physically attracted to their cousin assuming they are of opposite sex cos then you have an infinite loop of babies having sex and making identical babies basically you've got yourself a cloning machine. which involves a lot of baby sex A LOT OF.

They can be both. An egg can split, or there can be multiple eggs. Split eggs are always same sex though and are deemed identical (even though technically they are not as environment becomes a factor). Multiple eggs can be the same or both sexes.

Sure, but they don't have to. The probability of twin births are somewhat related to ethnicity, but is heavily influenced by random factors.

When was the last time a mother had all boy triplets?

To answer this question, it is helpful to know if these are identical or fraternal. If identical, these babies came from a single egg. They will have exactly the same genes. If they are fraternal, they will be like brothers, except born at the same time. Their genes will not be exactly the same. Now if they are identical, the chance ranges from 1 in 200,000 to 1 in 200 million. It seems that the range is so wide because this is so rare. Of the four million births in the US each year only about 7,000 are triplets. Add to this, the question as to whether they are identical or not.


What is the probability of having twins if your husband is a twin?

Identical twins happen by chance only; 4 per 1000 births or 0.004 probability. Fraternal twin probability is increased only if it is on the mother's side; so this does you affect your circumstance (from what you have stated). The chance of fraternal twins is 1 in 60 or 0.017. So, your probability of identical twins is 0.004 and fraternal twins is 0.017 (BTW, I have triplets).


What do you call 6 babies born at the same time?

SextupletsWhen six babies are born from the same mother and pregnancy, they are called sextuplets. Here are the names for other multiple births;2 - twins3 - triplets4 - quadruplets5 - quintuplets6 - sextuplets7 - septuplets8 - octuplets9 - nonuplets10 - decupletsTwins have three types. Identical Twins, Fraternal Twins, and Siamese or Conjoined. There are a few other subtypes depending on actual gene distribution.Identical twins come from a single fertilized egg that divides into two individuals with identical genes.An incomplete separation between the two would create conjoined or Siamese twins.Fraternal twins come from multiple fertilized eggs.Identical triplets and identical quadruplets have been documented. There was at least one documented set of identical quintuplets (Dionne quintuplets).It is possible that other multiple births would have identical members.The majority of the births of 4 or more babies are from fertilization treatment, or the implantation of multiple fertilized eggs.Multiple birth pregnancies of more than 2 or 3 babies are very high risk pregnancies. The babies usually have low birth weights, and require long-term ICU treatment at birth. There is also an increased risk for developmental difficulties including cerebral palsy.


What is the percentage of identical twins?

about 80% because most of the people i no are identical


What a homozygous?

It literally means "same egg". The term is used to refer to multiple births (twins, triplets etc.) It is a fancy way to say identical twins. Heterozygous twins did not develop from the same egg but two (or more) different eggs. They are also called fraternal twins.


How can families have 3 girls in a row?

One possibility is identical triplets. Identical multiple births are always- Gender Bound ( same gender- like the Dionne 5 from l934 Canada). On the other hand you can have a boy and a girl fraternal. the other possibility is adopting children. Are you producing a television drama? That was a common device such as My Three Sons, etc.


How common are fraternal twins?

In the US, the incidence of fraternal (dyzygotic) twins is 32 in 1000 live births.


If my grandma on my mom's side had twins what are the chances that i will have twins?

Here are the variables that increase chances of having twins or multiple babies: 1) You the mom are over 45 2)You live in Massachusetts 3)You take fertility drugs or undergo fertility treatments 4)You, your mother, or her mother is a fraternal twin. Skips generations 5)You already had fraternal twins 6)You are Nigerian 7)You are tall or overweight. Here are the variables that decrease chances of having twins or multiple babies: 1)You are Hispanic or Asian 2)You are under 25 3)You live in Hawaii If you are looking for statistics for identical multiple births (instead of fraternal), then the chances are very much less likely than fraternal twins. ~The chances of having triplets or more is 1 in 8100 and odds having quadruplets are 1 in 729,000


How can you get Quintuplets?

Like twins, quintuplets may be identical (from the same egg) or fraternal (from different eggs released from the ovary at the same time). Identical siblings have the same DNA, while fraternal siblings are no more alike than siblings born from different pregnancies. Quintuplets are rare because multiple births in human beings are much less frequent than singleton births. Furthermore, the human uterus is not designed to carry multiple births: the load of five babies rarely goes to term, thus resulting in five very small babies subjected to the risks of prematurity. Most quintuplet births nowadays are due to fertility enhancing drugs. The Dionnes and Diligentis are among the very few to have been conceived naturally and to have survived beyond infancy.


How many babies are septuplets?

Having quadruplets means having four babies at one time (one pregnancy/one delivery with multiple births).


Will you have twins if your mother is a twin and your fathers brothers are twins?

Ok here are the chances of having twins or multiple babies, 1) You the mom are over 45 2)You live in Massachusetts 3)You take fertility drugs or undergo fertility treatments 4)You,your mother, or her mother is a fraternal twin. Skips generations 5)You already had fraternal twins 6)Your Nigerian 7)Your tall or over weight. Here are the chances of not having twins or multiple babies, 1)You are Hispanic or Asian 2)You are under 25 3)You live in Hawaii 4)Your looking for identical multiple ( I am one for a fact) ~The chances of having triplets or more is 1 in 8100 and odds having quadruplets are 1 in 729,000


4 sets of identical twins per 1000 births?

Yes, there is 4 sets of identical twins in every 1000 births.
