Question 1 Report

Identical twins inherit their genes from
Answer Details
Identical twins inherit their genes from the same ovum and the same sperm. Identical twins are formed when a single fertilized egg (zygote) splits into two identical embryos. Therefore, they have the same genetic makeup, as they come from the same fertilized egg. Identical twins are also referred to as monozygotic twins. The genetic similarity between identical twins makes them very useful in studies of genetics and heredity.
