A set of twins can have two different fathers.
As in Taiwo's father is Mr Dayo, and Kenny's father is Mr Sola lolzz it is called heteropaternal superfecundation.
Let me explain:
1. A woman releases egg from her o***y to Fallopian tube every month, this process is called OVULATION, the egg waits for s***m to come for like 24hrs, if s***m did not come, the egg break and become menstruation in like two weeks after. That’s why when a woman sees her menstruation, she be like" ope o, I am not pregnant," because if s***m had fertilized the eggs, it won’t become menstruation again.
2.When a man releases s***m into a woman, the s***m remain active in her body for five days, there is a mucus in a woman’s body that preserve s***m for five days. The s***m would wait, hoping to see an egg to fertilize, if egg did not come, s***m will die.
3.Above explanation means that pregnancy takes place when a woman receive s***m during ovulation, It also means that, if a woman’s ovulation is on 5th of June, and she have s*x on 1st of June, she may still be pregnant because s***m can stay five days, and on the fifth day that s***m is supposed to die, ovulation happened (egg arrived). s***m and egg will just jam laidat na. Oyun de!
4.When a man releases s***m into a woman, it is at-least 20million s***m per ml, so, in a single ej*******on you have minimum of 40millions and above of s***m, out of which only one is needed to fertilize egg, once that one s***m find the egg, other s***m are useless.
5.Now, a woman can release just one egg during her ovulation, sometimes a woman can release more than one, it is called Multiple ovulations, or hyperovulation. So, if the eggs are two or more, it means more than one s***m is needed to fertilize each egg. If the eggs are two, you need two s***m out of the millions s***m.
6. Difference between Identical and fraternal twins: If a woman release one egg and one s***m fertilized it, then the egg now breaks into two, they form identical twins (look alike), the two babies are formed by a single s***m and single egg, but when a woman releases two eggs, and the two eggs are fertilized by two different s***m, then they become fraternal twins (not look alike), they are formed by different eggs and different s***m. Fraternal twins share only 50% of the same genes, whereas identical twins share 100%
7.Now, if a woman is expecting her ovulation for example on 5th of June, then she had unprotected s*x with Mr Dayo on the 2nd of June, and on the 3rd of June, she also had another s*x with Mr Sola, don’t forget I told you s***m can survive 5 days in a woman’s body. It means Mr Dayo and Sola’s s***m will both meet and greet, all mixed together and waiting for the woman’s egg to arrive. And on the 5th of June her egg arrived gbam, fortunately she had multiple ovulation that month (released more than one egg).
8.Right there both guys s***m begin race to fertilize the eggs, two of Mr sola’s s***m can be lucky to fertilize the two eggs if they are faster, and it can be two of of Mr Dayo’s s***m too, but It can also be one of Mr Sola’s s***m fertilizing one egg, while one of Mr Dayo’s s***m fertilising the second egg, in this case, they form twins from different fathers. Kojubelo.
his cannot happen to Identical twins but fraternal twins (unidentical). For this to be possible:
1.The woman must be having s*x with multiple partners
2.She must have had s*x with two of them within five days to her
ovulation
3.She must have released multiple eggs that month
It is a rare case, but it happens, a certain record said heteropaternal superfecundation was found to be 2.4% of 39,000 records research.
Taiwo can be a native of Ejigbo while Kehinde is a native of Iwo. A woman can be pregnant for two guys same time. This is idan.
I hope you learnt something? Please don’t go around suspecting all unidentical twins around you o, it is a rare case o.
See you next time.
