This is rather amusing because identical twins are basically clones of each other. This means that although the children they are going to have would be legally double cousins to each other, biologically they would be like siblings. Let us now look at some fun facts about identical twins.

Fun facts about identical twins

1. Identical twins are like clones to each other, who share almost 99.99% DNA. The small difference is due to environmental factors. They even start out with the same fingerprints when conceived, but as they start to move inside the womb, their fingerprints start differing.

2. Identical twins are perfect candidates for organ donation to each other, which means that the one getting the organ wouldn't need to take immunosuppressant drugs. However, if the organ failure was due to genetic factors, the other twin's organ would likely fail too, and therefore the organ donation wouldn't succeed.

3. Crimes committed by an identical twin can cause some confusion, as simply through a DNA test, you won't be sure, which of the two identical twins committed the crime.

4. If identical twins marry identical twins, their children would be biologically siblings to each other.

If you know some more facts about identical twins, it would be nice that you share them here.
