Identical Twins Don’t Share the Same Fingerprints!
Though identical twins have nearly identical DNA, their fingerprints tell a different story. Fingerprints develop in the womb, and environmental factors—such as the position of the fetus or the pressure they experience—lead to unique patterns for each twin. This means even their closest physical trait carries a distinct, personal touch.
The Myth of Identical Crimes
So, if you’re thinking of blaming your twin for a misdeed—think again! Their fingerprints won’t match yours, proving that even the most identical features have distinct details.
Fun Facts
- Identical twins also differ in minor physical traits, like moles and birthmarks.
- Fingerprints start developing around the 10th week of pregnancy.
