If you have arch fingerprints and your family has whorl and loop how can you be in the same family?

Fingerprint patterns are influenced by genetic factors, but they can vary even among close family members. Having a different fingerprint pattern from other family members, such as arch vs. whorl and loop, is not uncommon because there is genetic variation within families that can lead to different fingerprint patterns. It is just one of the many ways genetics can manifest in unique ways within a family.
