Is it possible to stump a DNA test if you have a twin? Say one twin commits a crime and his or her DNA is brought up and tested, is it possible that the computer might bring up their siblings instead? Keep in mind I am speaking of identical twins.
We never really went over this in Biology class during my sophomore year and our recent talks of cloning raised a few questions.

Yes, twins are basically natural clones, there are different kinds of twins but identical twins develop from the same original egg which gets split in two so they have the same DNA.
