A mother in Manchester, England, Jade Ball, has given birth to a set of biracial twin boys who look different just like any other set of fraternal twins.
Jade Ball and her better half, Kade, gave birth to the adorable twins, Cole and Klay, last April.
In an interview with TODAY Parents, Jade Ball established that when she gave birth to the boys, ''it was obvious they weren’t identical.''
Twins with unique looks
''As the months went by, their differences become more and more noticeable. Cole now has brown hair, brown eyes and light brown skin like his half-Jamaican dad, while Klay has a head of blonde curly hair, blue eyes, and a pale complexion like his white mom,'' she said.

Jade Ball and her partner, Kade, are constantly fielding questions about their little boys.
''Some people don't believe that they're twins. They can’t get their heads around it because they look so different.''
The adorable twins have personalities that are just as unique, said Ball.
''Klay is the mischievous one and into absolutely everything. He likes to dance and climb, whereas Cole has always been happy to just sit back and watch and take it all in,” Ball revealed. But both enjoy having their photo taken.''
Expert's opinion
According to Dr Bryce Mendelsohn, a medical geneticist at the University of California, San Francisco, the physical traits you can see in a person are just a very small sliver of the genetic diversity across human populations, said TODAY Parents.
''A lot of times we only focus on the things our eyes can see, but what we see is a tiny tip of the iceberg of the actual genetic diversity in everyone,'' said Dr Mendelsohn.
Charming photos of twins with different complexions
In a previous post, Briefly News reported on the photos of rare twins born with different skin colours that popped up after a social media user shared the exceptionally beautiful photos of the twins on social media.
According to the poster, the cute babies are the most beautiful set of twins he has ever seen. The mother of the twins, Judith Nwokocha was equally surprised when her babies turned out with two different colours, her son being black and her daughter with albinism. The 38-year-old mother, a native of Nigeria, who currently works as a professional photographer in Canada was stunned when she gave birth in 2016.
