    Does that make them siblings and cousins?

    Genetically, the children would very likely be indistinguishable from being siblings.

    Sine the fathers have nearly identical dna, and the mothers do too, the kids of one pair would be indistinguishable in terms of which mother/father they came from.

    Youd only be able to tell if any of the parents had any unique genetic mutations that happens post split (which is very likely), but then also that that genetic mutation also got passed down to their kids, which is roughly 50/50

    This is actually a known phenomina, that if one of your parents is an identical twin, your aunt/uncle (the other half of the twin) would also pass a maternity/paternity test typically.

    Do they do kids swap days to see if the kids would notice the difference?

    So are those kids, like, three-quarters siblings?

    Seems like Broyles should send Olivia, Peter and Walter to check this one out.

    'Identical twins'

    Is this some odd definition I'm missing? Cuz none of these people are identical.
