Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a zygote separates into two clusters of cells instead of just one, it results in two embryos with identical genetic information, leading to the development of identical twins. This process is called monozygotic twinning. Option B (dizygotic twins) refers to twins that develop from two separate eggs fertilized by different sperms, while option C (fraternal twins) refers to twins that develop from two separate zygotes fertilized by different sperms. Option D (triple X syndrome) is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of an extra X chromosome in females.  Therefore, the correct answer is A) identical twins.
