Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dizygotic twins, commonly known as fraternal twins, result from the fertilization of two different eggs by two different sperm. Therefore, they share, on average, 50% of their genetic material like any other siblings who are not twins, assuming no genetic mutation or crossing over events occur during egg or sperm formation.
