What kind of characteristics do they have?
They have similar characteristics. This is because conjoined twins have similar
characteristics because they develop from a single fertilized egg that fails to
fully separate during early development. As a result, the two embryos remain
physically connected, and their shared blood supply and tissue often cause
them to develop similar physical features, organs, and developmental
challenges.
