Although Identical twins look the same and share the same DNA, there are some differences between the two do to there environment and way of life as they develop. However, one way to distinguish between the twins from birth would only be by their finger prints. In other words, identical twins finger prints are different from birth because of there movements within the mothers womb and what they are touching within her womb before they are born.

The differences are mostly mental - they look the same, but mentally they're not. They have different personality's, likes dislikes. Like any two people...
They are as similar as any other two siblings.
There are differences in both DNA and fingerprints.The Claim: Identical Twins Have Identical DNA
Because they separated into separate beings early in the cell division process. After that, a quadrillion factors are involved in the minuscule differences all along the development process. This is how they become different people.
Identical twins have the same DNA - meaning that without the effects of environment they would be identical in every single way.
identical twins are from the same egg cell that split, but ferternal twins are from 2 entirely different fertilized egg cells. Thus identical look the same and ferternal can look entirely different.
Identical twins are born together, and look exactly alike.Nonidentical twins are born together, but do not look exactly alike.A good example of non identical would be boy and girl twins,

there are two types of twins-- fraternal and identical. Fraternal twins are genetically unique, and they usually have physical differences. Identical twins are identically identical, such as a clone, and have exact physcial characteristics, excluding weight and scars etc.

Identical twins come from one egg and one sperm. Fraternal twins come from two eggs and two sperm.
Canada's first successful kidney transplant between identical twins was in 1958.
The difference between Identical and Non-Identical twins is that Identical twins share the same placenta and are basically identical to one another. Non-Identical twins do not share the same placenta in the womb and two eggs fertilized at time of conception as opposed to one egg splitting in the case of Identical twins. I think that covers the basics. Hope this has clarified things for you.
