The answer is her genes.
Studies shows that Genetic played a really huge role in determining whether we could have fraternal twins (dizygotic twins)
The data shows that women who had relatives that produce dizygotic twins are 2.5 times more likely to produce dizygotic twins compared to women who do not.
