BEAUTIFUL twin sisters Alicia and Jasmin Singerl certainly make people look twice.
Alicia has dark brown eyes and complexion, and Jasmin is blue-eyed and fair-skinned.Experts say the chance of twins being born with such different physical characteristics is about a million to one.
The sisters from Burpengary, north of Brisbane, were born in May.
Mother Natasha Knight, 35, has Jamaican-English heritage, and their father, Michael Singerl, 34, was born in Germany.
Genetics experts say that in most cases a mixed-race woman's eggs will be a mixture of genes for both black and white skin.
However, much more rarely, the eggs may contain genes for predominantly one skin colour.
In this case, Ms Knight has released two such eggs - one with predominantly dark pigmentation genes and one with predominantly fair genes. Non-identical twins are conceived when two eggs are fertilised by two sperm at the same time, which has odds in itself of about 100-1.
Anyway i think that they are so beautiful, if only people can look beyond the colour of ones skin to see how beautiful one is... mentally and physically... But unfortunately the world is not quite there yet on this aspect, so Alicia is bound to be subjected to racism at some point in her life, and wish that she is white just like her sister... Well i guess thats life for you...
