Ferilized embryo Identical twins?

Question

Is it possible to have two identical twins where the same embryo is fertilized then split and end up a boy and girl?

Answer 1

Identical twins are always the same gender.

Identical twins come from the same egg, which splits after fertilization, well before the embryonic stage.

All the best.

Answer 2

no, because identical means they have the same genes. this means that identical must be either both boys or both girls. only fraternal can have 2 boys, 2 girls, or 1 boy 1 girl.

Answer 3

no, identical twins (which are formed from a single fertilized embryo that split into two) can ONLY be the same s*x.

Fraternal twins (formed from two seperate eggs) can be different sexes.

Answer 4

When there are identical twins they are always the same s*x. If it's a boy and a girl, then they are fraternal.

Answer 5

Surprisingly, it IS technically possible. Theoretical, actually. But there's a possibility, however remote, of XY division at an early stage allowing for a boy/girl identical twin birth. Don't think it's ever happened though :)  

Answer 6

No...identical twins are always the same s*x.
