Detailed Solution

Identical twins are of same sex and they are genetically similar as they develop from single zygote or blastocyst. Only one ovum is fertilised by 1 sperm and later zygote divides to two to develop into two embryos.

Fraternal twins are a rare event in which two ova are released and are fertilised by two different sperm. The babies are dissimilar or non-identical.
