And how are our fingerprints determined? Read on to know the answers
Identical twins form when a single fertilized egg splits into two. Therefore they have the same genetic make-up and their DNA pattern is indistinguishable. Their fingerprints have similar patterns of whorls and ridges, but there are slight differences.
This is because genetics is not the sole determining factor in the development of fingerprints. Fingerprints are determined by the interaction of an individual's genes with the environment in the womb and factors such as nutrition, position in the womb and the growth rate of the fingers. No two persons can have the same fingerprints.
