Len Flom+3As you point out in the "identical" twins above their GENOTYPE((DNA) is the same for both but their fingerprints are different.
CORRECT!
What makes them UNIQUE is NOT their DNA but their PHENOTYPES (all their biometrics not just fingerprints);therefore, your TV pronouncement inferring one's DNA makes each of us UNIQUE is incorrect and misleading
.Suggest correction to maintain integrity your reputation !

- Len Flom+1Lutricia:
You and your twin have exactly the same genes (DNA)and that is called
"genotype "which is in your chromosomes not seen and is inside each of you
; however, what appears when both of you are born and is outside due to
the fact that all that genetic material does penetrate equally for each of
you.
That is referred to as incomplete genetic penetrance and is ,therefore,
your phenotype giving each of you different chacteristics such as different
freckles, fingerprints,etc.
In order for you to be as exactly as your sister the two of you would have
to be clones,and that is a whole other explanation.
