Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

As quoted by Prof. Rodney Scott

"[Two sets of] identical twins will not have identical offspring," says Professor Rodney Scott, head of medical genetics at the University of Newcastle. ... Their children wouldn't inherit identical traits from their parents because of a process called 'genetic recombination'."
