Explanation
When a woman's ovary releases two eggs which are fertilized by two different sperms, it results in the formation of fraternal twins. Fraternal twins or triplets or quadruplets come from different eggs which are fertilized by different sperms therefore also called dizygotic or multiple zygotic. Fraternal foetuses come from separate placentas and amniotic sacs. They can have different sexes and different blood types and may look very different from each other
