time for a biology lesson:
Fraternal twins refers to when two eggs are fertilized, though many believe it refers to when twins do not look alike.
Identical twins refers to when one egg is fertilized and it splits into two babies. (the scientific term being mono-zygotic.)
Although the term "identical" can also mean:
"exactly alike; incapable of being perceived as different", when it is in relation to twins, it means:"derived from a single egg or ovum"
Tim and Tina are opposite sexes, so they cannot be identical.
(I only know this because my older sisters are Fraternal twins, that look almost exactly alike)
