Is here any dictation within history of a twin have twins?
Just out of curiosity. I'm not pregnant, nor do I plan to be anytime soon. But it's that time of year again (Twins Day Festivals) and I always think of the family dash of twins we have. On my mom's side, my great grandma had two sets of twins and no more children. The one set of twins died at an older age but didn't own children. My Grandma had 4 girls. Then my mom has twins (me and my sister) but totaled 4 girls and 1 boy. I don't know anything further beyond that.
But does that mean that it's probable that one of my or my twin's children will have twin girls?
And my main question is:
Are nearby any twins in today's society or the past, that have given birth to twins, also?
Again, I'm not pregnant or trying to be. I'm not really a "kid" soul currently, but for some reason right now I'm thinking I may have an ascendancy over twin raising. I hated being a twin and we never get along and it was never fair for me. But I think going through that would give a hand me to better raise a set of twins or multiples.
Answers: There are two types of twins, identical (monozygotic) and fraternal (dizygotic).
Dizygotic twins occur when two separate eggs are fertilized at approximately indistinguishable time. The resulting twins are essentially regular brothers or sisters, just born at the same time. Monozygotic twins occur when a single fertilized egg divides contained by such a way as to produce two embryos. The resulting twins share nearly identical DNA.
The incidence of dizygotic twinning has a genetic component - women from family with a history of dizygotic twinning may carry a gene that makes it more feasible that they will release two eggs during ovulation. Monozygotic twinning is a random event.
So to answer your question, yes - given the relative rarity of twins in the world, near is a relatively high chance, within that population, that a woman who be a fraternal twin herself could give birth to fraternal twins.
Edit: Because dizygotic twinning is the result of the release of multiple eggs, a history of twinning in a man's family have no effect on his chances of fathering twins.
Having twins is often genetic. If your mother ovulated two eggs instead of one on most months, it's likely that her daughters will inherit that reproductive partiality.
Fraternal twins are often genetically-determined occurrences. It's highly plausible (all things relative) that a twin could have twin children.
