With the exception of identical twins, it is said that no two people are just alike. But is this true? Is it virtually impossible for people other than identical twins to have exactly the same DNA and be identical to each other? WHY or WHY NOT?

It is possible for two people to looks similar and have different DNA. This is because of the fertilization and implantation process involved with reproduction. This process can results in two separate embryos from the same egg/sperm and two separate embryos from two eggs and two sperm. These also depend on the genetic traits, Alleles, that are passed down to the offspring.
