twin

/twɪn/

意味: 双子

例文: The twins argued over tuna sandwiches.
　　  双子はツナサンドで言い争った。

言葉のよくある組み合わせ: twin brother(双子の兄弟), twin sister(双子の姉妹), twin bed(ツインベッド)

定義: 二人の子供が同じ母親から同時に生まれることを指します。双子は、外見や性格が似ていることが多いですが、必ずしも同じではありません。双子には、一卵性双生児と二卵性双生児の2種類があります。一卵性双生児は、1つの受精卵が分裂して生まれるため、遺伝的に同一です。二卵性双生児は、2つの異なる受精卵から生まれるため、遺伝的には兄弟姉妹と同じです。
