WHAT DOES MONOZYGOTIC MEAN IN ENGLISH?

monozygotic

Twin

Twins are two offspring produced by the same pregnancy. Twins can either be monozygotic, meaning that they develop from one zygote that splits and forms two embryos, or dizygotic, meaning that they develop from two eggs, each fertilized by separate sperm cells. In contrast, a fetus which develops alone in the womb is called a singleton, and the general term for one offspring of a multiple birth is multiple.

Definition of monozygotic in the English dictionary

The definition of monozygotic in the dictionary is derived from a single fertilized ovum, and so identical.
