Do identical twins have the same fingerprint ? if you don't know then guess, Don't google it please

I don’t think so

Fun fact, my husband is an identical twin
@WaryWitchWandering Actually the right answer is "No they are different". SO you can ask him and know the correct answer

@Nexus I asked and that’s what he said (what I wrote above about the phone thing).

I googled it, and yeah the prints are different

So no clue what that was about ha
@WaryWitchWandering maybe the phone fingerprint is not that accurate, so any similarity might open the phone
Do you know why there are fingerprints? They are due to the uneven skin growth rates during gestation. Not an inherited trait. Essentially identical twins are clones but that doesn’t mean all physical aspects will be the same for both.
@Nexus Never see the same inquiry about triplets.
@BlueSkyKing I guess the answer is the same for triplets, for the same reason
@Nexus Look at data. They won’t have the same birth weight and size. Also it’s the footprints that are taken for birth records. None of these things has anything to do with genetics.

I know their vaginas can be very different. I saw identical twins on a show describing how different their genitals were. They were both models.
@WonderGirl That's so cute

They don’t. To my knowledge only one case of identical fingerprints on different people has ever been recorded, and it wasn’t from twins.
@Zaphod42 oh ?

No they dont.

Yes.
There is a missconception about what genetics is and how it works.
Of course genes hold significative information that guides development.
BUT is not at all a complete "program" for all what happens to the phenotype and (more important) neither at all enough to guide all (not even near to all) what will happen.
Most of what genetics gives is a frame for interaction with a wider reality, outside.
Part of those factors out of the genes themselves shape fingerprints.
And also things quite more important than fingerprints.
@ElRengo Thanks , that was fascinating

@Nexus Thanks you.
I believe they don't. But I'm not sure why.
