Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
Identical or monozygotic twins arise from a single zygote formed by fertilization of a single egg with a single sperm.
Such twins are members of a clone and have the identical genotype.
These arise by the separation of two or more blastomeres derived by mitotic divisions of original zygote.
