Answer 2

D. Identical twins share the exact same DNA, but fraternal twins do not.

Step-by-step explanation:

Identical twins are the twins formed from one egg provided by their mother and one sperm provided by their father. In contrast, fraternal twins are formed from two different sperms and two different eggs from the same father and mother.

Due to the fact that identical twins are as a result of one fertilized egg dividing into two, they share the same exact DNA. On the other hand, fraternal twins do not share the same exact DNA because they are formed from separate eggs and separate sperms.
