There are differences in both DNA and fingerprints.

Fraternal twins are no more like genetically than any other sibling combo, while identical twins will have very, very close to the same DNA.

∙ 15y agoI believe that DNA is never identical even when twins are born. Everyone is unique and no two souls or fingerprints are identical.

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.
Do siblings have similar fingerprints?
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
Can fingerprints be a gene?
No, because identical twins which share identical genes have distinct fingerprints.
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.
Who has DNA fingerprints that are similar to your DNA fingerprints?
1 in 10,000,000
Do twins have the same DNA?
identical twins do. just not the same fingerprints.
Why is DNA sometimes called the fingerprint inside your body?
because everyone has different DNA and different fingerprints.

What effect does heredity have on fingerprint characteristics?
DNA does not affect fingerprints. Identical twins- people with the exact same DNA- have different fingerprints. Fingerprints (and toe, lip, or any other -print your body has) form in the womb at random.
Who has DNA fingerprints that are similar to your DNA fingerprints?

Do twins have different fingerprints?
Yes. Two people cannot have the same fingerprints. Not even identical twins have exactly matched fingerprints. <3
Why don't twins have the same prints?
No one has the same fingerprints. That's just the way of genetics. Identical twins look exactly the like, but their DNA isn't the same.
If you have twin and both come out conected do they share the same fingerprints and why?
Conjoined, "Siamese", twins are by definition identical twins. Their fingerprints will be very similar but often not completely identical.
The DNA fingerprints of fraternal twins will be the same?
No, faternal twins are created from two different egg cells. They have some similar genetic information however. Indentical twins on the other hand, would have identical fingerprints since they are created within one egg cell.
