Both are female or both male or female and male, and it is often easier to differentiate between them in the general features and the similarity is not as large as in identical twins. Of pregnancy as a result of the maturity of two eggs at the same time, and each egg is fertilized separately with different sperm, and each egg then grow to form a fetus, and that is why genes do not match the genes.
