Why are identical twins and fraternal twins not the exact same?
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.
What percent of genetic makeup is shared by identical twins?
100%Identical twins develop from the same egg, so have the same DNA. The only thing different between identical twins is finger prints, and retinal patterns.
Are paternal twins identical?
I dont think there is such a thing as paternal twins...perhaps you are thinking of fraternal twins. In that case, they are not identical twins, they do not look the same and they can be different sexes.
Do identical twins have the same fingerprints is it a testable question?
No, identical twins do not have the same fingerprints. While they share the same DNA, fingerprint patterns are influenced by both genetic and environmental factors during fetal development. This makes it a testable question, as researchers can compare the fingerprints of identical twins to assess their similarities and differences. Studies have consistently shown that even identical twins have unique fingerprints.
Do Identical twins think more alike than Fraternal?
Yes. Fraternal twins don't look alike at all. Identical, meaning to look the same, are well, identical.
