Twins provide a valuable source of information for health and psychological research, as their unique relationship allows researchers to pull apart and examine genetic and environmental influences. Twin study findings have been influential in detecting and treating various diseases and psychological disorders.
How are they able to do this? Twin studies allow researchers to examine the overall role of genes in the development of a trait or disorder. Comparisons between monozygotic (MZ or identical) twins and dizygotic (DZ or fraternal) twins are conducted to evaluate the degree of genetic and environmental influence on a specific trait. MZ twins are the same sex and share 100% of their genes. DZ twins can be the same- or opposite-sex and share, on average, 50% of their genes.
If MZ twins show more similarity on a given trait compared to DZ twins, this provides evidence that genes significantly influence that trait. However, if MZ and DZ twins share a trait to an equal extent, it is likely that the environment influences the trait more than genetic factors. For example, Figure 1 presents MZ and DZ twin correlations for several physical and psychological characteristics. As shown in the figure, MZ twins, on average, are twice as similar as DZ twins for these characteristics, suggesting that genes influence the development of these traits....
"Hatred is a failure of imagination" - Graham Greene, "The Power and the Glory"
If fully reprogrammed after a memory wipe/repair, then, yes, Data should respond the same way to stimuli.
Consider this; instead of wiping his cybernetic brain we just duplicate it; identical hardware, software and memories/experiences. Upon booting up, both would be completely identical. However, from that moment on, they'll each be experiencing reality differently because they're each seeing it from different perspectives. Put them onboard the Enterprise for a few years; keep one aboard ship, never on away missions why the other is sent on every away mission. Will they be different after five years? I say yes.
How much different is another question.

In hhgttg, Adams at least gave the realism that it results in a splitting headache that's only alieved by being extremely drunk.
