Twins? What Do You Think?

Question

If Identical female twin sisters had children with identical twin brothers would theie kids look the same?

Answer 1

The initial thought would be yes, however, one would have to take into account the range of differences in genetic codes between the fathers and the mothers. If their genes are dramatically different, such as black hair to blond hair, or black eyes to baby blue eyes, there could be several different combinations that the parents could produce in children. In that event, the children would all look like they were related, but not necessarily identical.

Answer 2

There are literally billions of chromosome combinations between two people. The chances are very likely that the twin couples would have children who would be cousins that would look a great deal alike. But there would never be an identical babys.

My mother's cousin Married my Dad's sister. The one child from that union looks like she is a sister to myself, my sister and brother. We share genetic from both sides of the family.

Answer 3

No, because there are genes of external appearance that are receive that will manifest in some birth and some in the other, of course it will be a strong similarities as the amount of genetic information is similar but even the eyes shape of the face, personality and likes can change according with the grand parents and always there is a % on causality.

The genetic load is too extensive and always will generate variations, a couple can have the first child very similar physically to the mother and the second can be similar to the grand father, for example, and a third can look similar to the father, this is the magic of genetics.

Answer 4

There is no way to tell what your children will look like, because identical twins can look different. There are different gene pools that the children can pull from, so they could come out looking very similar, or they could all look completely diffferent.

Answer 5

I would think so. I have an identical twin sister and we married guys that look nothing alike and our kids look amazingly similar. I would imagine that with identical fathers, they would look even more alike.

Answer 6

No, they might look similar but they would not look like twins. Environment, even in the womb, changes how genes are expressed and can change appearance. They may even look completely different. They would most likely look like siblings.

Answer 7

they wouldnt be identical in the same way that two ppl can have more than one child together and they look different. genes can go back many generations so no.

Answer 8

not necessarily. it would be possible for their children to look like total opposites. It would all depend on which genes the parents passed along...some are recessive, others dominant, but if two recessive genes are passed, then the child would exhibit that.

Answer 9

if you have 2 children with the same guy they dont always look the same.....so the same rule would apply to twins i imagine.

Answer 10

It's hard to say. If the boys all favored their mothers, then yes, they could look very similar. However, if one set favored their fathers, or another relative, then no.
