There is a pair of twin sisters in Guizhou who married twin brothers, and the two couples were pregnant at about the same time, and what is even more amazing is that the two couples each gave birth to a daughter, and the time of the daughter's birth is not much different.
And these two children grew up in the same environment, because the parents of both girls are twins, so the two girls look very similar.
It is precisely because of this wonderful fate that the twin sisters and twin brothers, plus their children, have participated in various professional programs on the Internet, such as "Mamma Mia", "Family Fun Show" and other variety shows.
It can be seen on the Internet that they do look alike, whether it is two fathers or two mothers, they all look very similar, and the two children also look very similar, and the host in the show asked the two children to find their mothers, but the children really found the wrong one!
This makes many people sigh: It is estimated that parents will also recognize their children wrongly, and children will also recognize their parents.
Some netizens will be curious: Why do some twins look very similar? Some twins don't look alike, right? And we will find that there are some dragon and phoenix fetuses that do not look very similar, because there are two major types of twins in twins
Category 1: Identical twins
The so-called identical twins are the mother's only one egg during ovulation, and this egg can only be combined with one sperm, but the magic is that the fertilized egg divides into two embryos in the process of dividing.
So these two embryos are derived from the genes of the same sperm and the same egg, so they have the same blood type, they are very similar in appearance, and even their personalities are very similar.
And it's very likely that there will be telepathy between such twins. The elder sister of the twin sisters in Guizhou said that when she gave birth, her sister would also feel a stomachache and would have telepathy.
We will find that many experiments between twins are done with this kind of identical twins who look very much alike.
In the 8th edition of "Obstetrics and Gynecology", it is mentioned that such twins have little to do with genetics, and such twins account for 30% of twin pregnancies.
There is a special form of this type of twin is the conjoined baby, that is, the child divides after the 13th day after the fertilization of the fertilized egg because the time of division is relatively late, at this time the original placenta has been formed, so the body can not completely divide into two, so different forms of conjoined children are formed.
For example, some share a chest cavity, some share a hip, and some share a head, and if such twins are not completely separated after birth, most of them will have a shorter lifespan.
And these two pairs of twins who look very much alike are both identical twins, so they look alike.
Category 2: Fraternal twins
That is, the mother releases two eggs during ovulation, and these two eggs are combined with two sperm respectively, so that twins are formed, and this twin has a certain gene.
This accounts for about 70% of the twins, because the genetics of the two people are different, so the two children are different, the blood type may be different, the gender may also be different, such as the dragon and phoenix fetus, and even the child's fingerprints, appearance, and personality traits will be different.
Our dragon and phoenix fetuses or twins that don't look alike are this kind, and most of these twins are related to genetics, for example, if the family has this kind of twins, most of them may give birth to twins.
This kind of twin also has a strange phenomenon called re-pregnancy at the same time, that is, the mother discharges two eggs, but in a very short period of time with two different men, so the sperm of the two different men is combined with one of the eggs, so they can give birth to twins with different mothers and fathers.
