LivornoJerusalembeitmidrash[2]A single placenta normally supports a single fetus. When the situationarises in which two fetuses have to share a single placenta, complications maysometimes develop. Identical twins that share a single placenta are calledmonochorionic twins (MC). “Chorion” is the Latin root that refers to theplacenta, while the word “amnion” refers to the sac, or “membranes” thatsurround each fetus. While fraternal twins (2 eggs and 2 sperm) are alwayssurrounded in their own sacs and have their own individual placentas, 70% ofidentical twins may end up sharing a single placenta. Only 1% of identicaltwins share both a single placenta and a single sac, and this poses significantrisk.
Were they identical ?
Rabbi suggest yes, other than red and ruddy.
twins with identical DNA can also show variations by the timethey are born, which may result in different hair.

Even Rashi: Themazal[1] of the month of Adar, as is well-known, is dagim – fish.
Elsewhere,Chazal state a different reason of why Haman rejoiced. In the words of theMidrash in Esther Rabbah, Haman was happy that the lot fell on Adar because themazal of Adar is fish, and fish can be swallowed.[3]
What was Haman’s downfall? Chazalsay that Haman overlooked the fact that “Just as fish can swallow, so can theybe swallowed.”[4]
Additionally, Thus,the depth of why Haman rejoiced was not simply because it was the month whereMoshe expired (as is well-known, Moshe expired on the 7th of Adar, and thenumber 7 in Hebrew is ז, which is equal in gematria to the word דג\fish).Rather, it is because the spiritual power of Moshe is compared to the sun’slight, which does not reach the fish.
