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.

∙ 9y agono more so than two siblings look alike. Think about it: what if the same man and woman have 2 children: they might look alike or they might not.

In what situations would DNA fingerprinting not be an appropiate tool for identification?
If you have two suspects who are identical twins, and you are trying to find out which one is the killer. Identical twins have identical DNA. However, identical twins do not have identical fingerprints, so you could just get a regular fingerprint sample instead.
Would two brothers have the simIlar dna?
It is very unlikely that two brothers would have babies with the same DNA. That could only happen if identical twin brothers married identical twin sisters, and even then the mixing of DNA during reproduction makes this an extremely unlikely outcome.
How are fingerprints collected?
Police could use black powder.
Why did John Bond try to create enhanced fingerprints?
So that criminals could be caught by their fingerprints and to understand the science of how fingerprint deposits can corrode metal
Why do identical twins look the same?
Not always, but they do look pretty similar. They certainly do not differ as much as fraternal twins, but everything is not exactly the same. One could be taller than the other. One could be chubbier in stature than the other, too. And, one thing for sure, if not looks, their fingerprints and footprints are ALWAYS different. the only possible ways for two people to be completely the same is to clone a human being, but unfortunately this technology is beyond our reach in tehnology and science. The pure reason they look alike is because they are produced from a single cell, and during its implantation in the uterus, it miraculously splits into two beings. Because the second being came from the first one, it is only natural that they would have the same characteristics.

If a mother looses one baby but is still pregnant was she having identical twins?
Not necessarily you could be having twins and they don't have to be identical.
What figures will always be similar to each other?
A square of identical shape but not size is similar. For example, a square is always a square, whether big or small. Or, a box with 4 sides with exactly the same top and bottom will be similar, but these similar or identical boxes can be tiny....or huge. A circle will be similar to other circles, but size could differ.
Are fingerprints of identical twins the same?
Identical twins do not have the same DNA or fingerprints. Fingerprint differences are due to cell growth which will be different in every human. DNA in identical twins was thought to be an exact match, until recently. DNA in identical twins will be most similar at earliest age; the younger the twins, the more similar their DNA. Because DNA is constantly being replicated before its pattern disintegrates, its information changes over time. Because this process is random and unique to each individual, identical twins undergo a process in which their DNA becomes more differentiated because it changes in different ways.

How could DNA fingerprints help find out who the burglar is?
It can help people who are looking for the person find them by taking the fingerprints to the police. =)
Do fingerprints show humans brain potentials?
No. Fingerprints have absolutely zero correlation to the brain or its potential. There is no way to derive what somebody's brain could do from what their fingerprints are. Anybody saying otherwise is lying to you.
What is an equivalent?
Could you be more specific? An equivalence relation effectively partitions a set into nonoverlapping subsets.
Could you use ethiol to make fingerprints show up?
No, you cannot use ethiol to make fingerprints show up. However, you can certainly use ethanol to make fingerprints show up.

How could you describe a square?
A square - is a two-dimensional figure having four sides, all of equal length and four identical angles at the corners.
