Would cloned humans have matching finger prints?

Nope! Identical twins, which have identical genes like clones would, don’t have identical fingerprints either. Why? Because of something called expressivity. See, even though the genes are exactly the same, they will be expressed and used in different ways in different individuals. This is affected by both internal and external environmental factors (eg: hormones, diet, activity, etc.) We’ve seen this in animals. In cloned calico cats, they have completely different patterns, because they’re using the genes in different ways. We get it into our heads that a clone will look like and behave exactly like the person they were taken from, but this is far from being the case. In all probability they will look and act similarly, but there would still be a very definable difference.
