Fraternal twins, yes. Identical twins, no. Fraternal twins are caused by two separate eggs being fertilized (thus there can be two sperm from separate fathers). Identical twins are caused by a single fertilized egg splitting in half. One father, one mother, identical DNA.

i think of I heard of this going on while i replaced into staring at divorce courtroom on television. the female had fraternal twins yet that they had distinctive fathers. Its incredibly uncommon. a million in 12 gadgets of fraternal twins have distinctive fathers (the respected term for it incredibly is bi-paternal, meaning 2 fathers). yet fraternal twins make up 2% of the worlds inhabitants. And intercourse would not ought to take place minutes aside for this to take place. all of it has to do with ovulation, the quantity of time it takes for each mans sperm to attain the egg, stuff like that. Like, if a female had intercourse with extra effective than one guy numerous days previously ovulation, the sperm will attain the fallopian tubes previously the eggs get there and lie in wait. as quickly as the egg arrives interior the tube, it rather relies upon on who's the fortunate wiggle trojan horse that makes it interior the egg and fertilizes it. no remember the way you seem at it, its an quite astonishing occurance.
