But there was always one significant difference between them: Mike is right-handed, while Bob is left-handed. Other differences appear as identical twins get older. For example, sometimes, one twin gets dementia, but the other doesn't. Some identical twins can be surprisingly different. Take Amelia and Jasmine, for example.
