A question about identical twins?

Here's a scenario:

2 male identical twins meet 2 female identical twins, they have children. Would the children of these twin parents look the same?

So, essentially, would the cousins be almost identical?

    That's a very interesting thought. Since babies inherit different traits from parents, they probably wouldn't. Such as: one set of twins the baby (or babies) could get the mom's nose and the dad's lips. The other could get the mom's lips and the dad's nose. Twin on Twin action though, they'd probably end up having twins themselves!

    Yes there is a chance they could look identical but

    at the same time they could be 100% different just has to wait and find out

    Similarities are possible,but being identical no. In order to be identical twins you must come from the same fertilized egg and that egg splits into two parts,thus two babies.

    While they wouldn't look identical, they would genetically be like siblings even though they are cousins because both sets of parents would have the same genetics.

    I would say yes. They would look a lot a like. I say this bc I am a triplet and we are all ferternal and our kids all look like they could be siblings. So, you get all those identicals together and have babies, chances are pretty good! Just my thought.
