twin 意味
EN[twɪn] [-ɪn]US
日ツイン ウ双生児
- 双生児(そうせいじ)は同じ母親の胎内で同時期に発育して生まれた2人の子供である。いわゆる双子(ふたご)のことであり、多胎児の中では一番多い。多胎児の一種である。受胎時の受精卵の数により、一卵性双生児と二卵性双生児に大別される。
- 出産の時には数分程度の時間差で産まれることが多いが、中には数時間から数十日の間隔で生まれる場合もある(双子が一度の分娩で生まれるとは限らない)ので、誕生日・誕生年が異なってしまう兄弟姉妹もいる。
- 双子は多くの哺乳類(猫や羊、フェレットなど)で一般的に観察される出生形態の一つである。例えば牛の双子発生率は1%から4%程度ある。ただし一般に犬猫の一腹の仔は双子等とは呼ばれず、単に兄弟として扱われる。
