This is just something that I have been wondering about for a while.
Say, for example, the father has identical twin brothers. Would this increase the chance of conceiving twins? Or is it more or less based on the mother’s genes? I tried looking this up elsewhere on the interwebs, but couldn’t find a specific enough answer. Thought maybe Y!A could help me out tonight :)
For the record, I’m not pregnant, nor do I plan on getting pregnant any time soon, I’m just curious.
Thanks in advance!

I’m got a job as a Biology and chemistry tutor, however my major is actually chemistry and I took biology classes about two years ago.
I need to review whats given in the first 3 weeks of genetics ( I lost my notes from that class). I dont want to make a fool of myself.
