No. Each sperm and egg from each couple will have a unique set of alleles (forms of a gene). There are 2 alleles of each gene and humans have at least 30,000 genes. Therefore, the chances of the two couples having identical children is 2 times 2 to the 30,000th power = billions to one.

At least 80% no cause the genes arent exactly the same, one of the babies may have an extra hand or something cause the gene that took are of the hand was on a breding spree, but if they will be identical it will be a god damn mess and luck in the same time, i think is easyer to win the big prize @ loto than that.

No they will not be identical, but from a genetic point of view the children would be brothers/sisters as opposed to simply cousins.

No in fact they may not have twins at all, twins usually skip a generation I heard.

No, because each child could have characterisitics from other relatives other than their own parents.
