Is it possible to have an exact identical twin?

I saw four identical twins on tv once, but it seems so rare? But is it possible?
Answer:
No you could not have 4 identical twins. Twins are two babies born at once. at conception the egg splits and makes twins they share the exact same DNA there for can not go to prison based on DNA evidence. On the other hand it is very very rare that you would get quadruplets that are identical but it is possible. If they are all the same sex it may be the case. I have a relative who has 2 sets of twins 10 months apart and they all look identical however they are not as it is impossible. Hope this helps. I come from a family with 17 sets of twins. They say that it skips a generation however that is not always the case.
Yes it is possible
Yes ive seen some tiwns that look the same
My husband has an identical twin! Thank god the twins in his family don't Have twins but our poor daughter will. I'm going to have twin grandkids one day!
The first time I met his twin he said " I bet I look familiar, don't I?"
I think you already saw the proof that it IS possible.
Identical (as opposed to fraternal) twins come about when the fertilized egg splits into two seperate pieces. It is possible for these to do that again, but very very rare.
...4 identical sibblings would be known as identical quadruplets, not 4 identical twins.
Absolutely! When a fertilized egg splits - once, twice, three times, 4 times...whatever... that means identical twins. I have an aunt who is an identical twin and it is VEEEERRRYYYY hard to tell her and her sister apart. Identical twins will ALWAYS be the same sex. Fraternal twins (2 separately fertilized eggs) could be the same sex, or different sexes.
No there most be something different !
Do you mean four sets of identicle twins, or do you mean quadruplets? It is possible for this to happen. There is a list of well known multiple births, including identical quadruplets at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/quadruplets...
It is possible but you can tell them apart by their fingerprints...everyone has different ones...
they can look exactly the same, but their fingerprints will ALWAYS be different
