It is possible for twins to have different fathers, a rare occurrence known as heteropaternal superfecundation. This happens when a woman ovulates multiple eggs and has sexual intercourse with different partners within a short period. If each partner’s sperm fertilizes a separate egg, the result is fraternal twins with distinct biological fathers…..CONTINUE FULL READING
Unlike identical (monozygotic) twins, who form from one fertilized egg, fraternal (dizygotic) twins develop from two different eggs fertilized by separate sperm. For heteropaternal superfecundation to occur, the eggs must be released close together during the same menstrual cycle to allow fertilization by different partners.
To verify different biological fathers, genetic testing, such as DNA analysis, is used. This process examines the twins’ genetic markers to confirm their relatedness and provide definitive evidence of heteropaternal superfecundation….CONTINUE FULL READING>>>
