Biologists, and other scientific minds, of the Flood.
Is it possible to stump a DNA test if you have a twin? Say one twin commits a crime and his or her DNA is brought up and tested, is it possible that the computer might bring up their siblings instead? Keep in mind I am speaking of identical twins.
We never really went over this in Biology class during my sophomore year and our recent talks of cloning raised a few questions.
-
I think I remember hearing that even identical twins are not 100% genetically identical. With that in mind I'd say its possible for them to tell the difference.
-
As far as I know, it will be hard to distinguish genetic material from identical twins. However, it should be noted that identical twins have different finger prints.
-
They both get executed just to be on the safe side.
-
Yes, twins are basically natural clones, there are different kinds of twins but identical twins develop from the same original egg which gets split in two so they have the same DNA.
-
1 ReplyWith an identical twin, yes, it would throw a DNA test.
-
If you conduct the test properly, no. There are different methods of DNA testing, and although the twins have similar DNA, they're not exact replicas. A computer should be able to differentiate between them.
