Abstract
An attempt is made to isolate and quantify a positive correlation of parental coital rate with dizygotic twinning probability, by considering the variations of DZ [dizygotic] twinning with marital stage and status. If the coital rate of young women is doubled, their DZ twinning probability is increased by a factor of very roughly 25-30%.This publication has 20 references indexed in Scilit:
