When two or more than two embryos develop from a single fertilized egg, then this phenomenon is known as Polyembryony. In the case of humans, it results in forming two identical twins. ... The best example of Polyembryony in the animal kingdom is the nine-banded armadillo.

Answer 2

Polyembryony is the phenomenon of two or more embryos developing from a single fertilized egg.[1][2][3] Due to the embryos resulting from the same egg, the embryos are identical to one another, but are genetically diverse from the parents.[1][2] The genetic difference between the offspring and the parents, but the similarity among siblings, are significant distinctions between polyembryony and the process of budding and typical sexual reproduction.[2] Polyembryony can occur in humans, resulting in identical twins, though the process is random and at a low frequency.[1] Polyembryony occurs regularly in many species of vertebrates, invertebrates, and plants.
