Fraternal twins can have two different dads, because fraternal twins develop from two different eggs and two different sperm.
Identical twins cannot have two different dads, because it is one egg, and one sperm.

It is passable but extremely rear.
In order for this to happen the mother would have to sleep with two different men around the same time and have released two eggs at the same time!!
OR
a case that happened in England where a mother had invitro fertilization and the embryos got mixed up and she gave birth to a white child and a black child!!

that's achievable however that's extremely uncommon. Twins how have distinctive fathers are conceived at distinctive situations. In very early being pregnant of a single toddler, yet another egg could be released that is fertilized for the duration of intercourse, ensuing in fraternal twins, this technique is named great fecundation.

Presuming you're talking about identical twins, even if two sperm cells could penetrate a single egg, only one chromosome pair would form, from the DNA of only one sperm. I don't think chromosomes can be subdivided.

Yes, it is medically possible. You have thousands of eggs and a male has millions of sperm, within 24 hours of one sperm conjoining with an egg another sperm can do the same. All depending on when you have sex and if a sperm can conjoin with your egg.
