Is identical twins have same fingerprints?


It is believed that the development of a unique fingerprint ultimately results from a combination of gene-environment interactions. One of the environmental factors is the intrauterine forces such as the flow of the amniotic fluid around the fetus. Because identical twins are situated in different parts of the womb during development, each fetus encounters slightly different intrauterine forces from their sibling, and so a unique fingerprint is born.
