BR#8 "Twins"

The name of twin came from ancient Greek “twine.” There are three type of twins, identical twins, fraternal twins, and conjoined twins. Identical twins have same DNA. This is made up of dividing single egg in the mother’s womb. So, almost twins look like each other. But, some of twins don’t look like. For example, one had curly hair and the other has straight, or one may be light hand and the other may be right hand. Fraternal twins don’t have same DNA. Two eggs grow up in the mother’s womb. This is occurred one per 125 couple of twins. Conjoined twins are joined together at a part of their bodies. This type is rare case. The famous twins are Chang and Eng Bunker. They was born in1811 in Thailand. The conjoined twins were sometimes called “Simese twins.” This is occurred one per 200 couple of identical twins.
There are twins near me. Almost the couple of twins who I met looks like each other. But, they don’t take after the character. So, I think it is very difficult to take after the character.
