Fingerprints aren't determined by genetics, but by growth conditions in the womb.
(some say it's the amniotic sac, some say it's the inside of the uterus)
Either way, it's different enough even for twins for their fingerprints to end up personal, and not shared.

∙ 9y agoIdentical twins do not have the same fingerprints even though they are created from the same egg. The reason for this is that fingerprints are not formed from genetics.

Do twins have different fingerprints?
Yes. Two people cannot have the same fingerprints. Not even identical twins have exactly matched fingerprints. <3
Do siblings have same fingerprint?
Identical twins don't have the same fingerprints. Fingerprints are unique to every person, even twins!
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
Is the DNA from identical twins identical What about fingerprints?
There are differences in both DNA and fingerprints.The Claim: Identical Twins Have Identical DNA
What are the reasons for not having the same finger prints in the identical twins.?
Just because they are identical twins does not mean they are the same people. Fingerprints are as unique as a zebra's stripes, no other zebra has the same pattern.

identical twins do. just not the same fingerprints.

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.

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.
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.
Do we have fingerprints when we are born?
yes they are created in the womb but no one not even identical twins have the same finger prints
Do fraternal twins have the same fingerprints?
No, fraternal twins do not have the same fingerprints, because everyone no matter what has different fingerprints. not even twins.
Are paternal twins identical?
I dont think there is such a thing as paternal twins...perhaps you are thinking of fraternal twins. In that case, they are not identical twins, they do not look the same and they can be different sexes.
