Major League Baseball star, Freddie Freeman recently described his two new babies as twins with a twist. But one question that people keep asking is that “ are Freddie Freeman’s babies really twins? “.
He describes his babies as twins with a twist because they were born six weeks apart. But are children born six weeks apart by the same mother considered twins?
Well, According to Wikipedia,
“Twins are two offspring produced by the same pregnancy. Twins can be either monozygotic (‘identical’), meaning that they develop from one zygote, which splits and forms two embryos, or dizygotic (‘non-identical’ or ‘fraternal’), meaning that each twin develops from a separate egg and each egg is fertilized by its own sperm cell.”
This Means the title or name Twins is independent of the time difference between which the two babies were born but rather considers if the two babies were produced by the same pregnancy.
