Very frequent multiple births occur naturally in humans under specific biological conditions
Is it true that very frequent multiple births occur naturally in humans under specific biological conditions?
Yes. Multiple births, particularly spontaneous dizygotic twinning, occur naturally in humans and are influenced by specific genetic, biological, and demographic conditions such as maternal age and hereditary factors.
Verdict: SUPPORTED · 3 sources for, 0 against · Last checked
The retrieved papers provide robust genetic and epidemiological evidence demonstrating that frequent multiple births occur naturally in humans and are governed by specific biological factors such as hormonal regulation, maternal age, and genetic loci.
