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.

Why does identical twins not have the same weight and Skin colour?

Eye colour is caused by genetics whereas the weight of a person depends on how they life their life (how healthily they eat or how much exercise they do) so it is an environmental variation. Identical twins have the same genes so have the same eye colour.
