No they would not.

Just think of your brothers and/or sisters. They have identical parents to you but you are not identical to your siblings.

No, the offspring would not look identical. Every person is genetically unique (including twins) but twins look identical because they have come from the same embryo that has split very early on in the gestation period. What the children will look like is completely random and depends on which sperm fertilises which egg- each sperm and egg have different genetic attributes.

There is a higher chance that babies from two sets of identical parents would look similar but it is unlikely they would be identical.

hope this helps

No.

Think about it. Just a trivial case: one couple could have a boy and the other a girl.

In other words, the odds would be no different than the *same* couple (same father, same mother) having two identical babies (barring actual identical twins, triplets, etc.). Even if two people had twenty pregnancies, producing twenty daughters, the chances are infinitesimally low that any two of these girls would be identical.

No, because the babies would not be twins, and so couldn't be identical. However there would likely be a very strong family resemblence. The children would be as closely related as brothers and sisters are, sharing 50% of their DNA, because the parents in each couple are derived from the same eggs. So it would be impossible to tell which couple were the parents of each child using DNA.

Don't be stupid. No twins look identical it is just a term about the way they were born. If you can't see the difference between twins you seriously need help.

Not likely. Each sperm and egg cell in each of your theoretical twins would be genetically different from all the others and there are millions of possible combinations. The babies would probably look like siblings, but would not be identical.

You would probably be able to see a family resemblence, but they could all look very different because of the combination of genes would include their various grandparents, great grandparents etc. as well as their parents My four children all have the same parents but although you can tell they are related they are not alike - one takes after her father's mother, whilst another looks like her grand father's mother (when she was a young woman).

Then again, the babies in your question could all look exactly alike.

Think for a minute.
If the same man and the same woman have two children together, are the children identical?
OF COURSE NOT, unless the children happen to be identical twins.
Even if they have twenty children, they will all be different.

I have known twins that married twins before. Twins are supposed to skip a generation, so it is not very likely that twins would have twins, but one of the sets of twins did in fact have twins! It was wild to be at their house when they were all together! You really had to be on your toes to know who was who. To answer your question, they were similar, but not too much like the other kids.....

Lol, good question .. yet unlikely. They actual can, yet, probability is of their pick that they received't. Genetics look to have a way of scrambling DNA up quite good each and every once in a lengthy time period. between the toddlers ought to look like it is large large large Grandparent, even as the different ought to look like it is father, mom, or the blend of both one in each and every of them. DNA is a good ingredient ... :)
