[00:33.80]Although twins have always been a source of curiosity [00:39.60]they are not so uncommon statistically, since they occur once in every 86 births. [00:47.30]About one third of all twins are identical, or single-egg twin [00:54.50]Identical twins have the same genes and, hence [01:00.48]the same sex, hair, eyes, blood type, and bone and tooth structure [01:08.76]Some identical twins are mirror images of each other [01:14.41]For example, one may be left-handed, the other right-handed. [01:21.40]some identical twins may develop their own private language [01:27.44]Identical twins have an especially keen intuition [01:33.31]and they often seem to think and dress alike even when away from each other [01:41.16]In fact, even when they are separated at birth and raised apart, [01:47.93]They may pursue the same careers, have the same interests, [01:53.44]or die within days of each other. [01:58.48]fraternal twins inherit a separate set of genes [02:03.23]and are not necessarily of the same sex. [02:08.66]Question. [02:12.16]1) What is the statistical probability of twins being born? [02:20.33]2) How many different kinds of twins does the speaker mention? What are they? [02:29.29]3) What are the major differences between the two kinds of twins?

[05:00.53]Relatives say their resemblance extends well beyond their look [05:07.76]All three are extroverts who have similar gestures [05:13.85]They talk in the same way, they have the same laugh [05:19.36]they hold their cigarettes in the same way, [05:24.14]and all three smoke the same brand of cigarettes [05:29.65]1)Robert jones and Edward Gallant thought they were actually twin brothers.
