TWINS CLAIM TO HAVE SAME FINGERPRINTS…

-

 

IT either you keep a social distance or been lockdown on this mystical but any forensics expert will tell you that twins do not have matching fingerprints of which is at least one surefire way to tell them apart.

Nevertheless, identical twins often share personality traits, interests and habits. They come from the same fertilized egg and share the same genetic blueprint. But to a standard DNA test, they are indistinguishable.  

Then how is it for Clinical Medical students claim to have same fingerprints? Like physical appearance and personality, fingerprints are largely shaped by a person’s DNA and by a variety of environmental forces.

The identical twin-sisters; Jessie and Sylvia Mung’omba, not really related to the late Zambian veteran politician Dean Mung'omba and late distinguished lawyer, Willa Mung’omba, the former Mung’omba Constitution Review Commission Chairperson concluded to have same fingerprint on phone.
The last children in the family of seven with at least little data in health industry yet still with the view to have same fingerprint after elder twin Jessie opened her twin sister’s phone using her fingerprint. Though, no studies have concluded, the fingerprints of identical twins may be very similar, but they might not be same.

Genetics helps determine the general patterns on a fingertip, which appear as arches, loops and whorls. An individual finger can have just one of these patterns or a mixture of them. Often, identical twins will have a similar arrangement of patterns, but never the same minute details.

And Gary W. Jones, a former fingerprint specialist with the Federal Bureau of Investigation said; "It's impossible for people to have identical fingerprints and the study of fingerprints has been around for about 100 years, and in all that time, two people have never been found to have the same prints."

THE BOTTOM LINE: Identical twins never have matching fingerprints.
