"High orders of
multiple births (three or more offspring in one birth) may
result in a combination of fraternal (genetically different)
and identical (genetically identical) siblings. The latter
are also called super twins. For example, a set of
quadruplets may consist of two sets of identical twins; in
such a case each child has one identical and two fraternal
siblings.
Identical
triplets or quadruplets are very rare and result when the
original fertilized egg splits and then one of the resultant
cells splits again (for triplets) or, even more
rarely, a further split occurs (for quadruplets).
Alternatively the original fertilized egg can split twice
(to produce four embryos) and all four may survive, to
produce identical quadruplets, or one of the embryos may not
survive and result in triplets."
