The correct Answer is:
To answer the question, "Two offsprings developed in the same uterus from fertilization of two different ova are," we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Fertilization**: - Fertilization occurs when a male gamete (sperm) fertilizes a female gamete (ovum). In this case, we have two different ova being fertilized by two different sperm. 2. **Formation of Zygotes**: - Each ovum that is fertilized will develop into a zygote. Since there are two different ova, this means that two separate zygotes are formed. 3. **Identifying the Type of Twins**: - When two zygotes are formed from the fertilization of two different ova, the resulting twins are classified as dizygotic twins (also known as fraternal twins). This is because they originate from two distinct zygotes. 4. **Characteristics of Dizygotic Twins**: - Dizygotic twins can be of the same sex (both male or both female) or of different sexes (one male and one female). They do not share identical genetic material, unlike monozygotic (identical) twins. 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the correct answer to the question is that the two offsprings are both dizygotic twins and fraternal twins. Thus, the correct option is "both 2 and 3". ### Final Answer: The two offsprings developed in the same uterus from fertilization of two different ova are **both dizygotic twins and fraternal twins**. ---
