Identical twins are not carried on genetically. "they are freaks of nature" (not calling them freaks but the event of dividing egg is )
They are no more likly than others to have twins.
Genetic twins are the fraternal type. two babies born of different egg and sperm. this is carried on the mothers side. The fathers family of twins does not come into it.
common factures for having twins
1. Genetics (mother has fraternal twins in her family)
2. over the age of 37 (more likely that the ovaries are releasing more eggs as she heads towards menopause
3 that is her 3rd or more pregnancy.
THEY DO NOT SKIP GENERATIONS that is an old wives tale
if you are actually asking if the cousins will be counted as twins (your question kind of sounds like that) then absolutly not. Twins are two babies fertilised and grown in the same uterus and delivered at the same time.
Weird fact for you (at least in Australia) apparently if your twins are born either side of midnight then legally they are not counted as twins as they have different birthdays!! Stupid isn't it

As a mother of identical twins, I can say this. Identical twins marrying Identical twins does not mean the children will be twins. Although it is not impossible for it to happen. 99% of twins do not have twins but it has happened before. It's not likely though.

No! are all siblings same? while you're actually not comparable to your brother or sister why must you be comparable to your cousin (same twin dad and mom or not)? infants incorporate a random mix of genetic cloth from each discern. it incredibly is the reason all the youngsters in one kin are distinctive different than the place a embryo splits into 2 or greater interior the womb. Then the genetic recommendations is an identical and additionally you get same twins and so on..

identical twins are a fluke, an anomoly. faternal twins are a genetic trait. so though they may have twins(odds are 1:100 for any women to have twins) they also may not.
