Exactly - no. They're usually a bit different in size. Fingerprints are different. And if their DNA is VERY CLOSELY analysed, there will be tiny, tiny differences that has occurred since the egg split.

When was the last time a mother had all boy triplets?

To answer this question, it is helpful to know if these are identical or fraternal. If identical, these babies came from a single egg. They will have exactly the same genes. If they are fraternal, they will be like brothers, except born at the same time. Their genes will not be exactly the same. Now if they are identical, the chance ranges from 1 in 200,000 to 1 in 200 million. It seems that the range is so wide because this is so rare. Of the four million births in the US each year only about 7,000 are triplets. Add to this, the question as to whether they are identical or not.

Is it possible for two people to have the same combination of genetic traits?

Yes. Monozygotic twins, also known as identical twins, are genetically identical because they come from the same zygote (fertilized ovum). Early on, during cell reproduction to form the embryo, the cells separate into two groups, which form two embryos genetically identical to one another. Therefore, they would have the same combination of genes and genetic traits. There are also cases of identical triplets, quadruplets, and quintuplets, all of which came from a single zygote, and are therefore genetically identical. The first known identical quintuplets to survive infancy were the Dionne quintuplets, born in Canada in1934.Yes. Monozygotic twins, also known as identical twins, are genetically identical because they come from the same zygote. Therefore, they would have the same combination of genetic traits. There are also cases of identical triplets, quadruplets, and quintuplets.
