Twin Girls Are Different Race

Alicia And Jasmin Twins Of Different Races
 | ||||
The two beautiful girls shown in this picture are twins. Born to a mother of Jamaican-English descent and a father of German descent, Alicia and Jasmin Singerl were born in May 2006. They look completely different.
Their mother, Natasha Knight said when they were born you could see there was a color difference straight away. We couldn’t believe it.
Alicia’s eyes were brown and her hair was dark. Jasmin’s eyes were blue and her hair was white - you could hardly see her hair or her eyebrows.
These girls are just like any other non-identical twins, born of two different fertilized eggs. Because their mother has mixed heritage makes it more likely for them to inherit a mixture of different genes that determine skin color. Their five-year-old sister Taylah has blue eyes, blonde hair, and light olive complexion. Sort of in the middle of the the spectrum for the Knight-Singerl family.
In the process of meiosis when egg cells are formed in the mother, a random selection of genes will be allocated to each egg. The set of chromosomes in each egg cell is unique. We’re focusing on the twins’ mother here because the father is assumed to have a homogenous set of genes for white skin color.
Genetics experts say that in most cases a mixed-race woman’s eggs will be a mixture of genes for both black and white skin.
However, much more rarely, the eggs may contain genes for predominantly one skin colour. In this case, Ms Knight has released two such eggs, one with predominantly dark pigmentation genes and one with predominantly fair genes.
