So if it's an identical twin how could it be identical?

Answer 8

then hes not ur identical twin is he?technically that term is wrong its mirror image twin but hey wot the h**l!if ur definitly related then ur wot is known as a fraternal twin - this is where 2 eggs r released by a womans ovary and r fertilized by 2 different sperm, im a fraternal twin, i no these things

Answer 9

Adam so nice to see you....I have meet your doppelganger....the only difference is he "Don't drink and don't smoke".....he is a goody-two-shoes :-P

Answer 10

Maybe he was just wading in the deeper end of the gene pool as opposed to the shallow end you went wading in? LOL I'm just joking.

Look if you two don't look alike your not identical! Obviously fraternal or hey maybe someone at the hospital wanted your "real" brother because he was so cute so they switched babies.

Answer 11

Maybe your "identical" twin is a fraternal twin. Or it could be that you don't see the resemblance that everyone else does. Ask to have a DNA test done

Answer 12

A very close friend has identical twins...they even shared a placenta...but one has a congenital deformity and the other doesn't.  Identical does not mean what people think it means.

Answer 13

maybe your mum released 2 eggs at a time and 2 of your dads sperms fertilised them so u would get twins that are'nt identical

Answer 14

You can't be serious.  If he looks nothing like you then he is not your identical twin.  Maybe he is your fraternal twin.   An identical twin is identical because when your mom was pregnant one of her eggs divided/split and became two.  A fraternal twin is when your mom became pregnant with two separate eggs.  So being fraternal you would not look identical.  You would just have a few features that are the same.  Just like any brother or sister that are 5 years apart would have.

Answer 15

I know what you mean.  I'm left-handed, which apparently means I ate my imaginary twin in vitro and now have to feel the imaginary loss forever.  Waaaaaaah!!

Answer 16

Maybe your twin had a face lift.

Answer 17

ohh god your so funny!!!

Answer 18

There there, it will be okay. Open wide and say "Aaaaahh."  

Oh, I guess maybe you already are. Or is that "Aaiiiiieee!" Or "Heeyaaw!"

Answer 19

I know what you mean - my identical twin looks nothing like me either and is male and three years older. It's weird I tell you, just weird.

Answer 20

Identical means you came from the same "egg" and it split.  Probably two eggs were fertilised and you are simply twins - as opposed to identical twins.

Answer 21

Maybe your "identical" twin is a fraternal twin.  Or it could be that you don't see the resemblance that everyone else does.  I have twin neighbor girls that as little girls they looked exactly alike and as they got older they started looking a lot different.  If he looks NOTHING at all like you then maybe there was a mistake but highly unlikely I think.

Answer 22

be serious obviously he isn't your identical twin if he doesn't look like you so why the question

Answer 23

Maybe his adopted and is lucky in that since.

Answer 24

Doesn't appear that he is identical.  My twin brother and I are exactly alike.  As children we would open colouring books to same page and start with same colours.  Believe me it is most frustrating to be identical as all your lives people make comparisons. We are now 69. When someone learns something new about me they ask what my twin is doing to see if it is the same. If one of us left a room and other one came in with same clothes on you would not know the difference.  I once went to his barracks and sat on his bed waiting for him and his room mates were talking to me as if I were he.  By the way,just had a thought, maybe he thinks you are the ghastly mistake!!!!! Good luck

Answer 25

perhaps you have thje same problem as me.

One in 5 people in the world are Chinese.

its not me, my mum or dad, i am dont think its my brother, Wan Tun Foo, i think its my other brother, Dave

Answer 26

possible

regards x kitti x

Answer 27

get a dna test.... maybe its you who doesnt look like him?

Answer 28

It may be ghastly for you, but judging by your picture it's probably most fortunate for your twin.

Answer 29

You can request a DNA Test called a Twin Zygosity test between you two that will tell if your DNA matches or not. You could actually be fraternal twins too, not identical, but you can only tell this for sure by getting a DNA Test.

You can go to www.dnacenter.com if you want more info on this.

Good luck to you!

Please go there..

Answer 31

It may have been heteropaternal superfecundation.  It's rare, but it does occur in humans.  Of course, you are fraternal twins if this is the case.
