  1. It is posible but rare.

    Multiple births (three or more offspring in one birth) may result in a combination of fraternal (genetically different) and identical (genetically identical) siblings. For example, a set of quadruplets may consist of two sets of identical twins; in such a case each child has one identical and two fraternal siblings.

    Identical quadruplets are very rare and result when the original fertilized egg splits and then one of the resultant cells splits again (for triplets) or, even more rarely, a further split occurs (for quadruplets). Alternatively the original fertilized egg can split twice (to produce four embryos)

    Good Luck & God Bless!


  2. Anythings possible!! I'm a fraternal triplet, well the doctors say we are fraternal but everyone swears we are all identical!!

  3. Yes, it is.  The Dionne Quintuplets (five) were identical.  It is rare, but it does happen.

    Google the site "Facts About Multiples" to find out all you want to know about Multiple Births-and the facts are amazing.
