how can you do a DNA paternity test on Identical Twin men if both are suspected to be the father?

No, identical twins are nearly identical in DNA-the only differences are in parts of the randomly sorted genes, and those would be different in the child as well, so couldn't be used for testing.

YEAH RIGHT HOE...U REALLY GOING 4 A PATERNITY TEST...\n\nBE PREPARED TO BE ON MAURY AT LEAST 50 TIMES CUZ AS LOOSE AS YOUR NASTY A$$ IS, ALL YOURE GONNA HEAR MAURY TELL THE MANY MANY MANY MEN YOU BRING TO THE SHOW IS "yOU ARE NOT THE FATHER". AND THEN YOU GOTTA KEEP BRINGING ALL YOUR JOHNS TO THE SHOW, AND AT THAT YOU STILL PROBABLY WONT FIND HIM. I KNOW. LOL\nUGH.

Since the paternity was established at birth by another father, the only way she can get you to take a paternaty test is for you to voluntarily submit it.  If she wants to pursue you further and involve the courts demanding that you take a test, and that she's 100% positive you are the father, then yes, you will have to submit to the test.

Construct a punnet square:\n\nMom=  I^A & i\nDad= I^B & i\nOffspring will have a 1/4 chance of being: I^AI^B, I^Bi, I^Ai, ii\n\nIf the mother is I^Ai and the father is I^Bi, the possible blood phenotypes in the offspring are AB, B, A, and O.  There is a 25% chance of each blood type.

Well there are so many technicalities revolving around this question. While biologically speaking you could call the children sibblings is erelevant to the question. Manly because they will have there own genetic codes.  That is where this becomes quite complicated because genetics deals with more than just genes it deals with traits, DNA, Chromosomes, Blood Types, etc...  As far as them being related, coming from not only the same father, but an identical twin they are going to have very similar genes.  In fact when it comes to there family traits it will be identical.  However no individual, no matter if they are identical will ever have the exact same genetics (in the broad since) as another because that would go against the natural law of diversity.  So sumary exact same family traits, but overall two different people (genetics).

That's easy enough to figure out.\n\nGo to court and request a paternity ruling alongside a judgment for custody and child support.

Codegirl gave a great answer, although she left out the possibility of your husband being AB and giving an A to make your child AA.  All I'd add is that you have to understand the difference between phenotype (which is the expressed form) versus the genotype (with is the combination of genes).  When you and your baby were typed, they only look at the phenotype, not the genotype.\n\nA person tested as A can be genotypically AA (A from both parents) or AO (A from one parent; O, which is recessive, from the other).\nA person tested as B can likewise be BB (B from both parents) or BO (B from one parent, O from the other).\nA person tested as AB must be genotypically AB, getting one from each parent.\nA person taht is tested as O must likewise be OO, getting O from each parent.\n\nA parent gives one of their two alleles to their child.  If you are AB, you could give your child either A or B.  Since their are two possible combinations of alleles that make A (AA and AO), the father might have contributed either an A or an O.  So the only thing known for certain about the father's genotype is that he is NOT BB.  He could be either AA, AB, or AO (and contributing an A to make your child genotypically AA), or he could be either BO, OO or AO (and contributed an O to make your child genotypically AO).  But phenotypically, the father could be anything: A, B, AB, or O.

Ask him to take a paternity test voluntarily, he may just be in denial. If he will not do it willingly go to social services or family court and sue for support, he will then need to take a paternity test to prove he is not the father.

Identical twins generate a lot of curiosity. And a lot of misconceptions! Parents of multiples have probably not given a great deal of thought to their childrens' fingerprint patterns, but the general public has spent a lot of time wondering about this topic. \n\nSo, do identical twins have identical fingerprints? The basic answer is NO. Identical -- or monozygotic -- twins form when a single fertilized egg splits in two after conception. Because they form from a single zygote, the two individuals will have the same genetic makeup. Their DNA is virtually indistinguishable. \n\nHowever, fingerprints are not an entirely genetic characteristic. Scientists love to use this topic as an example of the old "nature vs. nurture" debate. Fingerprinting, along with other physical characteristics, is an example of a phenotype -- meaning that it is determined by the interaction of an indivdual's genes and the developmental environment in the uterus. \n\nThe ultimate shape of fingerprints are believed to be influenced by environmental factors during pregnancy, like nutrition, blood pressure, position in the womb and the growth rate of the fingers at the end of the first trimester. \n\nTwins DNA Testing\nIdentical or fraternal? Find out with an affordable DNA test\nwww.proactivegenetics.com\nThus, you will find similar partterns of whorls and ridges in the fingerprints of identical twins. But there will also be differences -- just as there are differences between the fingers on any individual's hands. Suggested Reading\nMore Myths About Multiplies

yeah called a DNA test

First, get an STD test.  You can go to a walk-in clinic and they will give you a referral, or you can go to a family planning clinic like Planned Parenthod.\n\nDon't accept responsibility for the baby without getting a paternity (DNA) test first.

Not really sure...he has a twin though...so if you were hoping he was  and he's not maybe you could try the twin.

yes, it is technically possible.\n\nHowever, as you say, it is almost infinitely unlikely.  The chance of fraternal twins being identical would be the same as any two other siblings being identical.\n\nEach parent has a pair of each of the 23 different chromosomes.  you will get one of two chromosomes in each set from each of your parents.  \n\nIf you assume the odds of getting any one of the two chromosomes of each pair from each parent are 50/50 (assume that each chromosome in each pair is different-which should be true unless there was some incest in your family), the odds would be 2^46 to 1 that a sibling happened to get the same 46 chromosomes.  that comes to about 1 chance out of 70 trillion. (that is, of being genetically identical).\n\nanother way to calculate this is to figure the odds of having two genetically identical eggs from a woman, which is one in 8.4 million, and mulitplying the odds of having two identical sperm from a man, which is also one in 8.4 million, and multiplying these two numbers together-which gives you 1 chance in 70 trillion.\n\nthere are other possible factors, such as how each egg was treated (so were some genes turned on or off), astrology, mitochondrial DNA (which should be the same between any siblings so shouldnt be a factor), development in the womb, and others.  However, i assume what you were talking about was if they could be genetically identical, which they can, 1 out of 70 trillion times.\n\nthe odds of winning the powerball lottery are 70 million to one.  so if you played the lottery one time for each time someone had twins, you would win the powerball lottery one million times for each time someone had identical fraternal twins.\n\nthe chance of two random sets of parents having identical twins is theoretically possible, but the odds of that are so extremely low, it makes the odds of the lottery or identical fraternal twins look like a near certainty.

Hi! I'm the mother of identical twins.  Here's some facts:\n\n1. Identical twins occur when one fertilized egg splits.  It's a random act of nature and is not impacted by family history, age, ethnicity or fertility drugs.  Every pregnancy has a 1 in 250 chance of being identical twins.  Identical twins have the exact same DNA.\n\n2. Fraternal twins occur when the female produces two eggs and both are fertilized.  It can be influenced by family history or fertility drugs.  Advanced age or certain ethnicities also increase your chance of fraternal twins.  Fraternal twins are essentially brothers/sisters who happen to be born at the same time.  \n\nHope this helps.

Go here. http://www.dnacenter.com/\n\nYou can't make them get it done, but you can trick them into giving you DNA by collecting a straw they have used or a cigarette butt or, obviously, a semen sample. Anything with hair, skin cells, or spit will also work. There is no age or time limit.

You need to have paternity test done. They won't be looking for drugs in the blood or mouth swap, and taking drugs doesn't affect the DNA results. This is the only way to determine the real father. \n\nGood Luck

As the mother of identical twins I hear these types of questions alot:\n\n1. Identical twins are from the same fertilized egg which splits.  They have the exact same DNA which means their blood type is also the same.\n\n2. Fraternal twins are from two different fertilized eggs.  They are brothers/sisters who happen to be born at the same time.  Biologically, they are as similiar as any other brothers/sisters.  They could have the same blood type but they may not.  They will not have the same DNA.\n\nHope this helps!
