DNA remains basically the same but there are things called "jumping genes" where genes move around and can be expressed differently. There's also stuff like gene duplication and exon shuffling which creates genetic diversity when genes or chromosomes do crossing over. Exon shuffling is related to jumping genes. @foebea

The reading provokes me the questions and hope that you may have the answers: Identical or homozygous twins do have the identical DNA/genes/genome at the moment of their separation. After that moment, the identical twins have some differences in their DNA/genes/genome after about 50 cellular division to mature as a baby at birth. The mutation of DNA does occur during the embryonic development, recombination of geneomic DNA happens in lymphocytes and gene rearrangement is found in every segment of the chromosomes.

It is a fact. You are trying to explain the situation in identical twins using genetics. But I think given encvironmental factors are not sufficient “Fingerprints are unique.” It is a fact.
