Lead investigator Dr. Vivienne Souter says that while the term semi-identical provides some idea of how the twinning occurred, it is "an oversimplification...
...study, Souter and her colleagues suggest that there are two ways this could have happened, depending on when the actual twinning event took place. In the first scenario, the egg might have divided in two (without separating) and then each part fertilized by one sperm. Egg division before fertilization is very rare, says Minkin.
