Answer:

Twins occur.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the embryo is divided into half by artificial methods such as microsurgical, twins occur in the female body. Both the embryo are identical to each other. twins means that there will be two babies formed at the same time in the body of female. After the separation of embryo, both the embryos are genetically identical to each other and it continue to develop into a new organisms.
