Nope.

No, my daughters are twins but are not identical and they are both girls. As for their siblings, after those two girls I had 2 others so twins, identical or not bear no gender specifics.

Not at all. They're just two separate fertilized eggs that happened to be released in unison, so each has about a 50% chance of being male or female.

No. Fraternal twins are twins that are concieved from two sperm and two eggs. They are no more similar than siblings from seperate pregnancies. Identical twins are concieved from one egg and one sperm, but the cells split apart very early in their development to form two seperate embryos.

No they do not have to be of opposite gendres
-
No. I knew 3 brothers growing up, they were triplets. Two were identical, one was not.

no

Nope, fraternal twins are just twins formed from two egg cells fertilized by two sperm cells. So they are not going to have the same identical features. I have fraternal twins and yes they are the same genders. But believe it or not, Mary-Kate, and Ashley Olsen are fraternal twins, and as far as we know their the same gender. :P
-
No, nor do they need to be an opposite sex. I have a fraternal twin brother, but I've known sets of fraternal twin sisters and fraternal twin brothers as well. I always have to laugh when someone finds out that I have a twin brother and they ask me if we're identical. When we were babies, my mother would just say "not under the diaper." (They got it by that point. *LOL*)
-
No. My cousin has twin sons, and they look like they could be related - but definitely not alike.
