Twins Children

Twins Children

Twins Children are called those who are born together at some time interval. Both those children will be either boys or girls, either a boy and a girl. This is due to the changes in the zygote formed as a result of the fusion of the male gamete and the female gamete at the time of fertilization. There are three types of twins on the basis of changes in the zygote or fertilization.

Twins - street studies
  1. Monozygotic or Identical Twins
  2. Siamese Twins
  3. Dizygotic or Fraternal

1. Monozygotic or Identical Twins

In the early stage of the zygote formed after the fusion of the male gamete and the female gamete, the two blastomeres resulting from the first cleavage completely separate and each of the blastomeres or daughter cells forms a complete embryo. As a result of which two fully developed children are formed by two embryos in the womb. Both these children are of the same sex. The gene structure of both these twins is the same, that is, the color, form, size and DNA of both the twins are similar, their biometric or pupil of the eye is similar, their functions are also similar. If there is a difference, then it is due to their environmental influence or upbringing. These two twins are called monozygotic or identical twins.

2. Siamese Twins

In the early stage of the zygote formed after the fusion of the male gamete and the female gamete, the two blastomeres formed as a result of the first cleavage are not completely separated and remain intertwined in one way or the other. This zygote later produces the embryo, from which twins are born. These twins are connected with each other by one or the other part. These twins are called Siamese twins.

3. Dizygotic or Fraternal

In this, two female gametes interact with two male gametes at the same time to form two zygote or zygote i.e. two eggs interact with different sperm to form zygote. Thus two embryos are formed from two different zygotes which are completely different from each other. Both the embryos thus formed will be either of the same sex or of different sexes. Such twins are called dizygotic twins or fraternal twins. Being made up of two different egg and sperm, their genetic structure is completely different from each other.

Landforms Made by Wind Activities

Wind and Its Functions About one-third of the Earth's land area is arid, semi-arid and desert. Lack of humidity and vegetation is often seen in these regions. Due to lack of humidity and vegetation, the soil particles here remain loose. Wind is an important contributor to denudation in these areas. Winds do three types of work in these areas, due to which different types of wind formed topographies are formed. How Blood Donation is Good For Health ? Works of Wind Winds perform three types of functions in arid and semi-arid areas, which are as follows – Deflation Abrasion or Corrasion  Attrition  1. Deflation In this, the unorganized particles of the soil are blown away by the wind, as a result of which the trough is formed. Lag Deposits and Marukuttim (Desert Pavement) When the wind carries away the small particles of the soil by the process of ablation, then the bigger particles are left behind. These large particles are called Lag Deposits and the surfaces formed as a result of w

Important Facts of National Flag

Important Facts Related to Tricolor The national flag of our country is the tricolor. We learned about the rules and regulations related to the national flag under many articles. In this article, we will throw light on some such aspects related to the tricolor, about which very few people know. Most of the facts of this article are inspired from the book 'Tricolor Ki Gaurav Gatha' written by Lieutenant Commander KV Singh of the Indian Army. The first flag was designed by Pingali Venkayya , in which a spinning wheel was made in place of the wheel. After the independence of the country in 1947, it was amended by the Constituent Assembly and Ashok Chakra was adopted in place of Charkha. Volcanoes and It's Types We all know and we are also taught in schools and colleges that there are three colors in the tricolor. But these are not true. According to the Bureau of Indian Standards and International Standards, there are four colors in it. Saffron – Symbol of bravery and sacrifi

India's Deepest River Valley - Bhagirathi and Alaknanda

Bhagirathi  It is a Himalayan river. The Bhagirathi River originates from the 'Gangotri Glacier' near 'Gomukh' located in the Uttarkashi district of the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand.

The length of Bhagirathi river is 205 km or 127 miles. The famous Tehri Dam is built on this river at a place called Tehri. Dev Prayag According to Hindu mythology, Maharishi Bhagirathi obtained it from Lord Shankar's hair in his Kamandal for the salvation of living beings. For this reason it is considered as the holy river of India. This is the origin of river Ganges. Indian Classical Dance Form Alaknanda This is also a Himalayan river. The Alaknanda River originates from the Satopanth glacier located in the Chamoli district of the Garhwal region of Uttarakhand. Its length is 190 km or 118 miles. Its left side tributaries are Dhaulig
