A member asked:
Heterochromia in one identical twin, not the other. are they fraternal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily.: Identical vs. Fraternal twins are archaic terms that no longer apply to the modern perinatal terminology., however are still generally true and understandable to lay people. The color of eyes is not the determining factor in zygocity or chorionicity of twins - check prenatal records and placental pathology!
