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.

Do twins have the same DNA?

identical twins do. just not the same fingerprints.


Do identical twins have the same fingerprints is it a testable question?

No, identical twins do not have the same fingerprints. While they share the same DNA, fingerprint patterns are influenced by both genetic and environmental factors during fetal development. This makes it a testable question, as researchers can compare the fingerprints of identical twins to assess their similarities and differences. Studies have consistently shown that even identical twins have unique fingerprints.


Do twins have different fingerprints?

Yes, twins have different fingerprints. Even identical twins, who share the same DNA, have unique fingerprints because fingerprints are formed randomly in the womb due to factors like pressure and environment.


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.


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


Do identical twins have the same finger prints and DNA at all?

Yes they do because they are created from the same egg when it splits so they will have the same DNA because they are identical but on the other side regular twins don't have the same DNA because they are from diffrent egg and sperm


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.


Do fraternal twins have the same finger prints?

No, fraternal twins do not have identical fingerprints. Fingerprints are determined by a combination of genetic and environmental factors, so even siblings who are not twins will not have the same fingerprints.


If your a twin do you have the same finger prints?

No you do not have the same print as your twin. Every single human being on Earth has a different print. But it is good to have different fingerprints. That's how some people can tell twins apart. No twins or anybody for that matter have the same prints. But identical twins do have the same DNA ( doxyribo Nucleic Acid )


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


Will finger prints of identical twins be similar?

Fingerprints of identical twins are not identical. They can be quite similar due to genetic factors, but they are not exact matches. Even though identical twins share the same DNA, various environmental factors during fetal development can lead to differences in their fingerprints.


What do identical twins have the same sat of?

They have the same set of chromosomes, which can be also stated as having the same set of genes.
