Question
In mammals, identical twins arise when an embryo formed from a single fertilized egg splits into two
independent embryos, producing two genetically identical individuals.
O For an early embryo to split into two embryos, both of which can develop into normal adults, the split must
occur when embryonic cells are already differentiated.
For an early embryo to split into two embryos, both of which can develop into normal adults, the split must
occur while embryonic cells are still genetically identical.
O For an early embryo to split into two embryos, both of which can develop into normal adults, the split must
occur before the embryo has attached to the endometrium
O For an early embryo to split into two embryos, both of which can develop into normal adults, the split must
occur while embryonic cells are still totipotent.
