Depends. If they are twins (Identical) then yes. There has been reports of Identical Twins having same DNA and Finger prints. There has never been any records of regular siblings sharing the same fingerprints

Do siblings have same fingerprint?

Identical twins don't have the same fingerprints. Fingerprints are unique to every person, even twins!


Why do siblings have different fingerprints?

fingerprints are different in everyone no matter if related or not , Because they are determined by random events in the womb not DNA. So even identical twins should have different fingerprints.

If identical twins marry identical twins could at least some of their kids look like twins having similar fingerprints?

They may look alike, but they will never have the same fingerprints, because fingerprints are created by differences of thickness in the dermal layer. It is independent of genetics, therefore, twins will never have identical fingerprints and any similarities between twins fingerprints would merely be coincidental.


Are fingerprints inherited?

No; fingerprints are not inherited. Fingerprints are unique for every person. Even identical twins do not share the same fingerprints. A Scotland Yard scientist has expressed the fact that of all the fingerprints "ever taken for any reason, we still haven't found two individuals that share the same fingerprints."Well fingerprints are not inherited but the patterns are. There have been studies that show that the fingerprint patterns of related persons are similar. The exact number, shape, and spacing of ridges changes from person to person.yes fingerprint patterns are genetic and are passed down but every ones fingerprint is unique
