Various types of chorionicity and amniosity (how the baby's sac looks) in monozygotic (identical) twins as a result of when the fertilized egg divides.

In studies conducted between 1924 and 1976, there were more left-handed monozygotic twins. Specifically, 15% of monozygotic twins were left-handed while 13% of dizygotic twins were left-handed. [5]
Fraternal twins develop from two different eggs by two different sperm -- so they can often look slightly different. Although some, like Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, end up looking so much alike ...

[1] [2] They share the placenta, but have two separate umbilical cords.
