I'm having a debate with my sister's
boyfriend that twins have their own dna
and fingerprints. He says that they
don't. Someone who knows please help :?:

I believe identical twins share the same
dna and have their own fingerprints.
Everyone has their own fingerprints.
Obviously fraternal twins wouldn't share
the same dna.

Yes, identical twins have the same dna but
not fingerprints. Ann fraternal have 50%
same dna and diff finderprints.
Hehe I have twins in the family.

^^^ I agree with that... Lol not that
twins run in my family but maury had a
paternity show with identical twins and
the two guys were both the father cause
they shared the same dna. Yet it's proven
fact that everyone has there own set of
fingerprints. If someone were to have
everything the exact same they wouldn't be
twins they would be clones...Lol

Fraternal twins' dna is like that of any
siblings.

boy do I feel like a dork! When I read
what you wrote I looked right at my
fingers to see what my print looked like.
I'm glad my hubby is glued to the tv so he
didn't see me do that! Lol

I've tried many times to hide it, but
people see thru me. I'm awful at hiding
things! I am who I am!
Tho, my hubby knew how much of a retard I
was before he married me....So no returns!
My family still tells him "we warned you
to run when you had the chance!" if
that's not love, I don't know what is!

Identical twins have the exact same dna,
but fraternals have dna just like any
other siblings would. As for
fingerprints, since those are formed from
the fluids in the womb, each twin has a
different set.
*edit* - man I gotta stop posting right
after I read the first post. Cuz so many
other ppl already answered this exactly
the same way.... What is wrong with me
today? Lol
