Officially yes. Since identical twins started out with the same egg they obviously had the same DNA at that point. As you get older your DNA breaks down. I don't know for sure, but it seems plausible that the twins would end up with different DNA from that. People don't really live long enough to find out.

Identical twins' DNA is similar and, if compared side by side, can be concluded that the DNA pair are related, but DNA is unique per person, even in twins.

Yes, monozygotic (identical) twins have the same DNA unless there has been a mutation during development.

Not exactly the same, but as close as you can get. There will always be random mutations. But these are few and far between relatively speaking. For all intents and purposes, the DNA is the same.

of course. identical twins have exactly identical DNA. that is why they have the same resemblance same height, same weight, same genetic composition, same eye colour, same complexion etc.. Thinking in this way you yourself would have find this answer.

definitely wright.they have identical DNAs.the difference between them is due to the way they use their body and mind it is certainly unique.remember that the finger print of both will be different

Yes they do since they come from the same egg after it is fertilized I think.

Yes. They have had more than one crime show demonstrate this fact.
