Which parent carries the twin trait?

For fraternal twins, the genetic tendency for "hyperovulation" (releasing multiple eggs) is inherited through the mother's side, but the gene can come from either her mother or her father; however, the mother must have the trait to release the extra eggs, while the father can pass the gene to his daughters, increasing their chances of having twins. For identical twins, genetics play a much smaller role, as they occur when one fertilized egg splits, which is usually a random event, though some familial patterns suggest a genetic link.
