What is "monozygotic"

Usage examples of "monozygotic".

Not all monozygotic twins retain the physical resemblance to such a high degree.

But in monozygotic twins they go beyond the law of averages, and they keep happening in the same spheres.

When she received her doctorate in genetics --no real surprise, given the frequency with which monozygotic twins reared apart have been shown to live parallel lives -- the Rodgers Institute recruited her immediately.

What if I said I could change all that What if I said that I had a miniature shotgun that blasts gene fragments into the cells of living organisms, altering their genetic matrices so that a monozygotic replicant would no longer be a monozygotic replicant and she could then make love to a muscleman without transgressing the incest taboo, I say, opening my shirt and exposing the device which I had stuck in the waistband of my black jeans.

Proceedings of the Loomis Foundation, the title: Homogeneity of Traits and Longitudinal Patterns of Encoded Behavior in Monozygotic Twins Separated at Birth.

They quantified this by studying the physiology of monozygotic twins and comparing it to the general population.

By monitoring bodily fluids such as blood, researchers discovered that the way monozygotic twins respond physiologically to a drug is remarkably similar, whereas two unrelated people generally have quite different responses.

The two kinds of twins I have reference to are called, in biological terminology, monozygotic and dizygotic respectively.
