Twins. Twin 11032 . Two individuals derived from two FETUSES that were fertilized at or about the same time, developed in the UTERUS simultaneously, and born to the same mother. Twins are either monozygotic (TWINS, MONOZYGOTIC) or dizygotic (TWINS, DIZYGOTIC). . 0.54
Twinning, Monozygotic. Monozygotic Twinning . Twinning . The division of a ZYGOTE into two parts, each of which is capable of further development. . 0.48
Twin Study. Twin Studies . Twin Study [Publication Type] . Work consisting of reporting using a method of detecting genetic causes in human traits and genetic factors in behavior using sets of twins. . 0.45

Passage of blood from one fetus to another via an arteriovenous communication or other shunt, in a monozygotic twin pregnancy. It results in anemia in one twin and polycythemia in the other.

Twin Studies as Topic. Twin Studies . Works about methods of detecting genetic etiology in human traits. The basic premise of twin studies is that monozygotic twins carry identical genes, while zygotic twins are genetically no more similar than two siblings born after separate pregnancies.
