Identical twins do not have identical fingerprints, this is because of the biological nature in which fingerprints are created. Though there is some indication of there being a link to ginetics ie DNA the majority of the influence on the development of fingerprints is environmental. As a result even if they have the same DNA they have different fingerprints.

are the fingerprints processed for reference points such as core,delta etc before the minutiae matching?
