What do You Call Twins With Different Skin Color?
Twins of different color are called “mixed twins” or “biracial twins.” Mixed twins are actually fraternal twins (dizygotic) who are born to a multiracial family. These particular families have different skin color and other racial features.
It is a fact that specific genes dictate the color of a person’s skin. Since mixed twins are born from biracial parents, these twins have inherited different gene variants code for that influences the differences of the melanin in their skin. Parents of biracial twins have a beautiful combination of gene variants for light or dark skin in their genome.
