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.
