Answer (1)
Identical twins are defined as twins that share 100% of their genetic material and come from one fertilized egg. They originate from a single zygote that splits into two embryos, leading to identical genetic information. This distinguishes them from fraternal twins, which arise from two separate eggs and sperm. ;
