Is it possible for a twin to grow taller and bigger than the other twin?

Question

If so can anyone give an example of twins in which one is bigger than the other?

Answer 1

Yes. Fraternal twins aren't always the same height because they have different genetic makeups. Identical twins still aren't the same height even though they are identical because of environmental factors. Even though they have identical DNA and this DNA can't be altered after the twins are born, environmental factors (like what you eat, chemicals that you are around) can change your size. This does not, however, change your DNA.

Answer 2

of course...jst becasue they look the same..doesnt mean that they have to feel/eat/slep as the other..everyone has different personalities and that's what makes them different and unique!!!=]

Answer 3

Fraternal twins are no different in genetic make-up than siblings who are born as singletons.  Are all siblings the same height?  Of course not, so fraternal twins are very likely to be of different height as well as look completely different just like any other sibling.  It is most typical for identical twins to be the same height or very close, but sometimes non-genetic medical issues could cause one to be of different height.  Most twins I know are fraternal and all are different from each other in many ways, including their height.

Answer 4

YES very possible. Im a triplet and we are all different heights and weights.

Answer 5

yes my friend has well supposed to be identical twins

but they are 2 now and one is 36 inches tall and 31 pounds and the other one is 31 inches adn about 22 pounds but they are so cute adn people dont' think they are twins

Answer 6

My twins are nine, one is three inches taller and a few pounds heavier than the other.

Answer 7

I believe very much so, Just because their twins doesn't mean their biologically ment to age gain and lose weight the same ,I feel that a lot of people think of twins as yeah, 2 kids but identify them as 1( saying the twins) please note they are different and have different likes,dislikes and personalities .Although sharing the same almost identical characteristics  and birthdate can make anyone feel as they're being overshadowed or  left behind , imbrace their differences and except how they interpret eachother "as they get older"

Answer 8

Yes. My neighbors are twins (both guys) one of them is three inches taller than the other. They're fraternal twins though
