what do u mean by heteropaternal superfecundation
Answers
Explanation:
It is possible for twins to have different fathers in a phenomenon called heteropaternal superfecundation, which occurs when two of a woman's eggs are fertilized by sperm from two different men. Ordinarily, a woman becomes pregnant because one of her eggs has been fertilized by sperm.
Answer:
Hetropaternal superfecundation refers to the fertilisation of two separate ova from the same father, leading to fraternal twins, while hetropaternal superfecundation is referred to as a form of a typical twinning where, genetically the twins are half siblings.
Superfecundation is the fertilisation of two or more ova from the same cycle by sperm from separate acts of sexual intercourse from two separate biological fathers. The term superfecundation is derived from fecund, meaning the ability to produce offspring.
