There are more than six billion people in the world but no one is the same as you – unless you are a twin. Brothers and sisters are di� erent but identical twins are the same. Why is this? The answer is in our genes.

What are genes?Genes are pieces of biological information from our parents. Fifty per cent of our genes are from our mother and � fty per cent of our genes are from our father.

Why are brothers and sisters di� erent?They are di� erent because they have got di� erent genes from their parents.

Why are identical twins the same?They are the same because they have got the same genes.

TwinsTwinsAre identical twins exactly the same?No, identical twins aren’t exactly the same. Their personalities and their � ngerprints are di� erent.
