    While I suppose it would be difficult to find boy/girl twins who are identical, they can come close. There was a pair in my high school class who you could tell were twins.

    Funny, I think Teddy and Tommi do look alike. The fraternal twins in my family don’t even look like siblings. Me, being the brat I was, used to tell the boy that he was adopted.

    fraternal twins began as two ova and became two fetusesidentical twins began as one ovum and became two fetusesChimeras began as two ova and became one fetusclones began as perhaps a skin cell and became a much younger identical twin.

    " It happened in Germany to a woman who had sexual relations with two men within a short period of time. One of her twins was a Caucasian baby, and the other was African-American, just as the two men with whom she had sex with when she was fertile.".They established that the father was an American?

    “And those humans and animals born with multiple noses, eyes, heads are not quite separate or combined when they were born.”.For that you’re mostly describing Siamese Twins.Chimeras sometimes look like checker boards with different pigmentation alternating based on which fertilized ovum that section of skin came from/.Hermaphrodites are most often chimeras, I have read, with one sex organ from a male fertilized ovum, one from a female fertilized ovum..A lady in Tallahassee, Florida, a few years had one ovary from the different fertilized ovum which produced her mouth. As a result, a swab of the cheeks for DNA analysis versus the DNA from the newborn infant indicated different parents rather than her.Proof she wasn’t lying came from the fact that the birth of the infant was recorded at the time..This has led me to wonder about some of the “falsely” convicted rapists and murderers in which they confessed or had eyewitnesses naming them but the DNA showed the person providing DNA from a mouth swab was not the person providing semen during the rape.I would bet nobody ever checked the DNA from the semen of the convicted. Therefore, it is possible — even if unlikely — that the convicted person actually WAS guilty, just a chimera with gonads from different source than cells in mouth..
