Identical twins that are raised in similar environments.

Any differences between identical twins is expected to be due to environmental factors since they are genetically identical, whereas fraternal twins only share half of their genes on average. When an environmental influence is dominant, the trait similarity would be the same for identical and fraternal twins.
