Conjoined Twins

[MWB]

Has/or is there ever been conjoined twins that one was/is a boy and the other a girl?

[B00]

I wouldn't have thought so, as conjoined twins are identical twins who are...well....identical.

[MWB]

But identical twins can be a boy and a girl can't they?

Ah. Thanks muchly smudge.

how can a girl be identical to a boy?

[Loosehead]

siamese twins are identical twins that didn't quite separate. You cannot have Id twins that are of different sexes, that can only happen with bi-zygotic twins.

Identical twins DO NOT come from one egg fertilised by two sperm but from one egg fertilised by one sperm that subsequently splits. If the split is complete they are normal twins, if incomplete they are conjoined twins.

[HomeBody]

When two eggs are fertilised during a single pregnancy the resultant children are fraternal twins.
