No they have the same DNA. I just did this in Science class. However they don't have the same fingerprints, so they are clones.

Actually, if their fingerprints are different, then they're not clones.

solidmushroom is right.  Identical twins have the same DNA, but not the same fingerprints.  Clones would probably be the same.

Not really. They're called mutations. That would give them different fingerprints.

It's not mutations that give identical twins different fingerprints; fignerprints details develop randomly in the womb.  source
Mutations can cause slight genetic differences between identical twins, but the differences (if any) usually aren't significant.  source
Just for fun: identical twins have unique iris patterns.  source

Thanks, Hirocon!  I guess you guys will have to find something new to argue about.
Today's actually... nobody's birthday!  Quick, hurry up and make a baby!

So, let's see...identical twins have the same DNA, yet they have different fingerprints and iris patterns. I'm telling you, they...oh, never mind.
