Question about the fingerprint of identical twins

[Scott Coutts]

Hiya Free Spirit,

The short answer is: No, they dont have the same finger prints!

They're very similar, but your finger print is not solely defined by 
your genetics. It is mostly, but small parts of it are defined by your 
environment. For example, the temperature and nutrition can change your 
prints. Anyhow, here's some info about it.

If you do a google search for "fingerprint identical twins" then you'll 
find more than you need on the topic (:

Bye!
