MIRROR TWINS

 

Almost one quarter of identical twins are "mirror" twins. This means that the twins will appear to be reflections of one another. One twin will be right-handed and the other will be left-handed. Internal organs and skeletal features will be on the opposite sides of the body. And, hair whorls will turn in opposite directions. One in four identical twins are mirror-image. Siamese twins show a high degree of mirror imaging.Mirroring is just as much a mystery to medical science as the cause of identical twins.
