Twin Zygosity Test
This DNA test is used to determine whether twins are identical or fraternal. The term “zygosity” refers to whether DNA is similar or different between two fertilized eggs (or zygotes). Homozygosity (developing from a single egg) results in identical twins. Heterozygosity (developing from separate eggs) results in fraternal twins.
