If twins are monozygotic but dichorionic are they less completely identical genetically than monochorionic twins ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The same.: Monozygotic dichorionic is another term for monochorionic diamniotic twins. They are expected to be genetically identical in both cases because they come from one original fertilized egg.
