These Conjoined Twins Prove Two Heads Are Better Than One!
A Rare Phenomenon Explained
The world of twin biology is filled with fascinating details. Identical twins form when a single fertilized egg splits into two embryos, creating two nearly identical individuals. However, with conjoined twins, the egg begins to divide but doesn’t fully separate, resulting in two children physically connected at birth.
While twins can be either identical or fraternal, conjoined twins are always identical, sharing nearly identical DNA. Unlike fraternal twins, who may be different genders, conjoined twins are always the same gender—most often female. This rare occurrence continues to captivate scientists and the public, offering valuable insights into human development and the complexities of early embryonic growth.
