Whats the difference between identical and fraternal twins

Physics

Twin type has less to do with what twins look like and more to do with how they formed.
Identical, or monozygotic, twins form when a single fertilized egg splits and develop as two babies in the uterus. Identical twins originate from the same combination of cells and have the same genetic origin. They are ALWAYS the same sex, two girls/two boys. They may look very similar and it may be difficult to tell them apart.
Fraternal, or dizygotic, twins are two individuals from the same pregnancy who from TWO SEPARATE eggs fertilized by TWO SEPARATE SPERM. The genetic similarity between fraternal twins is the same as any two siblings, about 50 percent. They can be boys, girls, or one of each.

SIZIF [17.4K]

The period of the wave is determined as 0.083 seconds.

<h3>What is period of a wave?</h3>

The period of a wave is the time taken by a particle of the medium to complete one vibration.

<h3>Period of the wave</h3>

The period of the wave is calculated as follows;

T = 1/f

where;

  • T is the period of the wave
  • f is frequency of the wave

T = 1/12

T = 0.083 seconds

Thus, the period of the wave is determined as 0.083 seconds.

The African and South American continents are separating at a rate of about 3 cm per year, according to the ideas of plate tecto
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

166 666 666.7 years

Explanation:

We start the question by making the units uniform. We are told that the continents move at 3 cm/year = 0.03 m/year.

We are also told that the continents are now 5000 km = 5 000 000 m apart

So to calculate the time it took for them to be this far apart

t = distance/speed

t = 5 000 000 m/(0.03 m/year) = 166 666 666.7 years

Which of the below statements are true?
andrezito [222]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Displacement is the distance from the start point to the endpoint, displacement disregard the path taken or the amount traveled.

if you start at point A, then go to point B, and back to point A, the displacement is zero because you started and ended at the same point.

for this question, pretend you started at point A, went east 20 km to point B, and then west 8 km to point C, your displacement is 12 km. 12 km is the distance between point A and point C.

4. How long will it take a car travelling with a speed of 160 km hr to cover a distance of 700 meters? Hint: km/hr should be con
Inessa [10]

Answer:

15.8 seconds

Explanation:

Create an extended calculation to convert all the unit to what you need.

160 km      1000 m       1 hour         1 min

----------- x ------------- x -------------- x ----------   =  44.4 m/s

1 hour            1 km         60 min      60 sec

So 160km/hr is equal to 44.4m/s

Now you can figure out how many seconds it will take to go 700 meters.

44.4 m          

----------   X     x sec   =  700 m

1  sec

Solve for x sec

x sec = 700m / 44.4 m/s

         =  15.8 seconds
