Identical twins form when one egg has been fertilised by one sperm and the zygote splits into two. This happens at the very earliest stage of development, when the zygote is no more than a cluster of a few cells.
Both ovaries do not release mature eggs at the same time. Only one egg is, suppose, to be released each month by one of the ovaries, not both. If both ovaries release two matuâ¦re eggs and they are then fertilized, fraternal twins will be conceived.
