Monozygotic twins (identical twins):
Two separate embryos conceived from a single fertilized egg. Identical twins account for about 30% of naturally occurring twins in the United States

Monozygotic twins: Twins conceived from one egg. Often called identical twins.
Morning sickness: Nausea and vomiting, with ill health, found primarily during the first trimester of pregnancy.
Monozygotic Twins - See "Identical Twins".
Morning Sickness - See "Nausea".
Morula - A cluster of thirteen to thirty two cells formed from a fertilized egg about three days after conception on its was to the uterus.
Monozygotic twins may have separate placentas, depending on the stage of development at which the inner cell mass separates or they may share the same placenta and have separate amniotic sacs.
FRATERNAL, OR DIZYGOTIC, TWINS ...
Monozygotic Twin - Not as common as fraternal siblings. Occurs when one fertilized egg divides in two while it is a small collection of cells. The halves then develop into two babies, with the exact same genetic information.
Identical (monozygotic, or twinning from a single egg--"identical") twins happens once in 250 pregnancies. This is unaffected by age, race, or any other factors. Dizygotic twins (twins from fertilization of two eggs), however, is a different story.

There are two types of twins: monozygotic (identical) and dizygotic (fraternal). Identical twins result from the duplication of cells in the early stages of development.
Identical twins (also called monozygotic, MZ or uniovular) occur when for no known reason the fertilised egg (zygote) splits during the first 14 days and each twin gets the same genetic make-up.
About one-third of twins are identical or monozygotic twins (when one fertilised egg divides in half). Two-thirds are non-identical or dizygotic twins (when two eggs are fertilised by different sperm).
Twins who share the same genetic makeup, also known as monozygotic twins. When a single fertilized egg divides in two separate embryos before the 8th day after conception identical twins result.
Identical twins (also called monozygotic twins) occur when one fertilized egg splits and develops into two (or occasionally more) fetuses. The fetuses usually share one placenta.
This can happen naturally when an egg splits creating identical or monozygotic twins or when two or more eggs are fertilized at the same time (dizygotic).
Identical twins are also called monozygotic and they result from the fertilization of one egg by one sperm which splits after fertilization and results in two babies being formed. Each twin develops from the identical half of one fertilized egg.
AH may increase the possibility of monozygotic twins, or identical twins.

This results from an early embryo dividing

There are two types of twins - identical (monozygotic) and fraternal (dizygotic). To form identical twins, one fertilized egg splits and develops two babies with exactly the same genetic information.
Two offspring born at the same time who look exactly alike. Identical twins are also called monozygotic twins because they develop from the same egg: a single fertilised egg splits early in development and becomes two separate fetuses.
Your likelihood of having identical, or monozygotic, twins (when one fertilized egg divides in half) is about 1 in 250.
A number of factors affect your odds of having fraternal twins or higher-order multiples.
Identical twins are also called monozygotic while fraternal twins are known as dizygotic. Fraternal twins usually develop in separate amniotic sacs and have separate placentas. Identical twins share the same amniotic sac but have separate placentas.
Identical multiples have the same chromosomal makeup so will be the same gender, and have the same hair and eye color, blood type, etc. Only one-third of all twins are identical (monozygotic).
And new research suggests that more than a mother's and developing baby's bones may be affected: Depressed calcium levels may actually increase the probability of monozygotic (one-egg) twinning, ...
