"There’s a set of biracial twins in the UK who are turning heads because one is black and the other is white. Born in 1997 to a white father and a half-Jamaican mother, the sisters have grown accustomed to getting mistaken for being just friends — and they have even had to produce their birth certificates in order to prove they are in fact related, “No one ever believes we are twins because I am white and Maria is black,” Lucy explained. “Even when we dress alike, we still don’t even look like sisters, let alone twins.”
After giving birth naturally, the twins’ mother, Donna Douglas, did a double-take as she looked at her daughters for the very first time.
“It was such a shock for her because obviously things like skin color don’t show up on scans before birth,” Lucy said. “So she had no idea that we were so different. When the midwife handed us both to her, she was just speechless.” "

They're black and blue though, where's the white?

Maria lucked out.

Originally posted by LoKoPaNdA I wish they explained the science behind this though. Also, aren't both technically biracial? Phenotype is how you look not what you genetically are

Originally posted by RatedG² You are correct. Both are biracial and have the exact same genetics (assuming they're identicial twins and not fraternal twins...the article didn't make it clear). However certain genes activated for one and not the same for the other, giving them different phenotypes. Doesn't happen all the time but it's not exactly a rare thing either They're both beautiful though :heart2;

Luv I don't think the article has to make that clear...
