    Identical twins share the same genetic code and thus are natural clones. Because identical twins share all of their genes‚ it has been said that it is the environment—rather than genetics—that accounts for any differences between them. Twins can either be monozygotic ("identical")‚ meaning that they develop from one zygote that splits and forms two embryos‚ or dizygotic ("fraternal") meaning that they develop from two single eggs that are fertilized by two separate sperms. In a study design that
