Yes identical twins usually share a placenta because they split from one embyro. Fraternal twins don't because they came from two separate eggs

I thought identical twins shared a placenta n faternal twins didn't share a placenta. ... but I guess I could be wrong.  That's how I thought they usually could tell if they are identical or not

You actually cant tell if they are identical unless you have a DNA test on them. I had no idea until my nursing teacher told all of us
