The gene versions that increase the chance of hyperovulation can be passed down from parent to child. This is why fraternal twins run in families. However, only women ovulate. So, the mother's genes control this and the fathers don't.

The notion that twins always skip a generation is also a myth. The illusion may have arisen because men who inherit the gene from their mothers are unaffected by it ( they do not ovulate), but can still pass it on to their daughters, who, in turn, will have an increased likelihood of conceiving twins.

According to genetic research, the chance of having fraternal twins is approximately two times greater for women whose mother or sister had fraternal twins. This increased chance is due to a gene that promotes hyperovulation—sometimes referred to as the "twin gene."
