The difference between identical twins and fraternal twins are their genetic composition.

Identical twins shares the exact same genetic composition. While fraternal twins share the same womb before they're born, they do not share the same genetic composition. The fact that IQ scores of adopted twins have found that identical twins are more alike indicates that Genetic composition played a big role In IQ.
