Well, identical twins do have the same dna, yes, but slightly different fingerprints. Should be the same with a clone.

A clone would most certainly have the same original complement of DNA. However, we know that development can alter events that are programmed in the genetic instructions. For instance, if you are exposed to a virus, your immune system will respond by attempting to make antibodies through a combination of DNA rearrangements inside of your white blood cells. If your "clone" was not exposed to that virus, then the clone would not have that same population of white blood cells that are capable of producing that specific antibody. Since the environment does impact on the biology, and this would include the environment during the growth and development of the clone, I would say that it is likely that the fingerprints would be highly similar but not absolutely identical. Much as is the case with identical, or monozygotic twins, where the fingerprints are also similar but not identical.

Clones or identical twins have the same DNA, but they don't have the same fingerprints. There is minor difference in fingerprints because of the different developmental environment.
People who are answering yes are very stuped and they don't know what they are talking about. Identical twins have the same exact DNA, and they are copy of each other, but they don't have the same fingerprints. The same thing for clones.

Yes a clone does have the same fingerprint and DNA as the original organism it was cloned from. That's the reason why it is called a clone in the first place. LOL.

A clone wouldn't have the same fingerprints, because part of the makeup of your fingerprints are your experiences, and that affects your fingerprints. A clone will have the same DNA, though.

the DNA of a clone will be the exact replica of the DNA of the person whose clone it is...but fingerprints are not the same....our fingerprints is characterstic to each person and as we grow it undergoes slight changes but very gradual. So fingerprints cannot be replicated

Your clone is an exact copy of you right down to the DNA you carry. For example, if you have a mole on your upper lip; your clone will have the same mole in exactly the same spot. If you have any genetic disorders; your clone will have exactly the same genetic disorders. Your clone will have your height, hair color, ear shape/size, nose size/ shape, lip shape/ size, leg length, arm length, finger size/ shape/ length and so and so forth... A clone, in every major and minor way, is you. Your clone may differ from you in personality, however. So, my answer is yes, they have both the same DNA and fingerprints as the person they are cloned from. Again, a clone is you, your twin, and your child all in one.

a clone has the same dna sequence but it's more than likley to me methlated differently. but they have different fingerprints. due to pressure in the womb..but im not sure

They have the same DNA but I am not sure about fingerprint. I would assume that they do.

No. inspite of if it would, Jebus bones are very uncommon, and ones with intact DNA are amazing. The Smithsonian in straightforward words has about a million/4 of an finished Jebusaurus skeleton and none of their bones yet contain DNA.
