Identical twins have the same DNA sequence because they are formed from a single fertilized egg that splits into two identical embryos. Therefore, they would have the same DNA fingerprint when analyzed. The other choices (half-siblings, siblings, and parent and child) would have some differences in their DNA sequences, even if they were related within the same colony.
