Fingerprints have nothing to do with genetics, completely random pattern formation is impacted by genetics, but Level 2 and Level 3 feature formation is random, in the womb. This is why the science of fingerprints is 100% accurate for identification.

Webservant note: The Level 1 pattern formation of fingerprints is impacted by genetics (heredity). See postings here.

alienchrcol,

Actually, it's impossible that fingerprints will be the same... no statistics are associated with that possibility because it's biologically impossible. The chances are zero.

It's because there is only one in 60,000,000 that fingerprints will be the same. So its just not probable.

Because fingerprints form later in fetal life, and depend on different factors that are random. Search "pattern formation" on this website for more information.
