Twin, either of two young who are simultaneously born from one mother. Twinning, common in many animals, is of two biological kinds: the one-egg (monozygotic), or identical, type and the two-egg (dizygotic), or fraternal, type.

Fraternal twins happen when two different eggs are fertilized by two different sperm (typically, from the same donor) in the same ovulation cycle. They come from two separate zygotes, so they each have different genes. Identical twins are the result of one zygote that splits in two.

Identical twins, also known as monozygotic twins, share the same egg at conception and are always either both boys or both girls. Fraternal twins, also known as dizygotic twins, come from two separate eggs fertilized at the same time. They could be the same sex or different.
