Question

Do siblings have the same fingerprints?

Answer 1

Fingerprints:

1. DNA fingerprinting is a technique for identifying a person from a sample of their DNA.
2. Siblings are the parent's children or descendants.
3. No, identical fingerprints do not exist between siblings. Even identical twins' fingerprints differ from one another.
4. The DNA fingerprint of a father can be used to identify him because children inherit half of their father's genetic makeup.
5. Nucleotide repeats in a child are likely to match those in their parents.
6. Therefore, no two people in the world, let alone siblings have the same fingerprints.
