One study of twins in Sweden found that identical ones had a closer propensity to invest in shares than fraternal ones, implying that genetics explains a third of the difference in risk-taking.Upbringing, environment and experience also play a part.
In the design world, a famous case of duplication concerns the "N" logo the NBC television network rolled out in 1976 — only to learn that an identical one, formed by two trapezoids, already was being used by the Nebraska Educational Television Network.

On this theme, Burgio et al proposed a research study where the aim was to compare the results between a self-administered Kegel exercise treatment and an identical one that was controlled by an expert.
Unlike Zagalska-Neubauer et al. [ 8], we also do not make the strong assumption that identical variants should have one single classification.
