Zygosity.
Such a strange word but something you will be asked about all the time if you have twins. They may not realize it but people will constantly ask about your twins' zygosity: are they identical or fraternal?

Zygosity is all about whether your twins started as two fertilized (fraternal) eggs or one (identical). While it is fun to know what the zygosity of your twins is, it can also be important to your pregnancy care. There are some extra steps to take in your care if you twins are monozygotic (identical) as they are more likely to share a placenta or even an amniotic sack.
