Answers:
It doesn't skip generations, it just increases your chances if you, your mother, or her mother's mother is a fraternal twin. These women may carry a gene for hyperovulation, which means they release more than one egg during an ovulation cycle, increasing their ability to conceive fraternal twins. The chances may be high as 1 in 17 if the mother is a fraternal twin herse.
It also increases with age. If you are under age 25 don't expect twins. However, if you are over 35 your chances are much higher!Health Question & Answer
