Oddly, no . . . in fact they can have quite different epidermal ridges.
Identical twins, due to the fact that the one fertilized egg splits, have identical DNA. Fraternal twins, since they are from separate eggs, have different DNA.
The similarity of friction ridges between identical twins suggests a strong genetic influence on the formation of these unique patterns. While environmental factors can affect ridge patterns, the close genetic relationship of twins leads to more comparable characteristics in their fingerprints and footprints. This phenomenon highlights the interplay between genetics and individuality in biometric traits.
Because the mother identical twins each have a different husband . . . half of his characteristics show up in their babies.
Identical offspring are referred to as "monozygotic twins" or simply "identical twins." They arise from a single fertilized egg that splits into two embryos, resulting in genetically identical individuals. This contrasts with "dizygotic twins," or fraternal twins, which develop from two separate eggs fertilized by two different sperm. Identical twins share the same genetic material, while fraternal twins do not.
(Person that asked the question)-Once twins are born, and old enough to determine whether they are identical or fraternal, how do you know if they are identical, or just fraternal twins that look identical? I was just curious.
Identical twins have the same DNA but their fingerprints are not identical because fingerprints are not solely determined by genetics. They are influenced by factors such as the environment in the womb during development, random variations in tissue formation, and individual interactions between genes and the environment that shape the unique patterns of ridges on each twin's fingertips.
Identical twins. Although horses sometimes have twins I'm not sure if they have identical twins.
If they were not then they would not be called identical twins!
Fingerprints are not controlled by a single gene but are influenced by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. The specific pattern of ridges on a person's fingers is thought to be determined during fetal development and remains relatively stable throughout life.
Approximately 30 of twins are identical, also known as monozygotic twins.
Twins are identical because they come from the same egg.
Identical twins are formed from a single egg that splits into two. Fraternal twins are formed from two separate eggs that are both separately fertilized. So identical twins have identical DNA, and fraternal twins do not.
Identical twins are formed when one fertilized eggs splits. Non-identical twins are formed when two separate eggs are fertilized.
The same as when you had the first set of identical twins.
Non identical twins.
No.
the chances of having identical twins are about 1 in 300.
