Question

Do identical twins have the same DNA fingerprints?

Answer 1

DNA fingerprints in twins:

1. The personalities, interests, and behaviors of identical twins are very similar. They both came from the same fertilized egg and share the same genetic code.
2. They cannot be distinguished by a common DNA test. Even yet, there is at least one way to distinguish them from one another, as identical twins do not have identical fingerprints, as any forensics expert will attest to.
3. Like physical characteristics and attitudes, a person's DNA and a variety of environmental influences have a significant impact on their fingerprints.
4. Genetics governs the basic shapes of a fingertip, which are represented by arches, loops, and whorls. On a single finger, we might find one of these patterns or a mix of them.
