Best Answer

Full siblings share, on average, about 50% of their DNA (I'm assuming you meant "blood" here metaphorically to describe, for lack of a better word, "relatedness").

A half sibling would normally be half that, or 25%.

This assumes the parents you don't share are unrelated; if they are it gets complicated. If your "half brother" is also your cousin (your dad and mom had you, your mom died, your dad married your mom's sister and they had a child) then you're probably about 38% related. If that's true and also your new stepmom is your mother's identical twin, then you're back to 50% related.

If two kids are born from the same mother but different fathers are they still full brother and sister?

Not full brother and sister, but in sharing the same blood line ofthe mother, you are considered to be related by half of the parentage, in this case, on the mother's side. Whether one becomes full brother/sister is a matter of love,compassion, acceptance, and the half factor becomes a matter only of legality. You are half brother and sister. You share your mothers blood but not your fathers.

What relation to you is your half brother's half sister?

Your half-brother's half-sister could be your full sister, or not related to you at all. For example, say your parents are Joe and Mary and your half-brother's parents are Mary and Steven. Say your half-brother's half-sister is Barbara. If Joe and Mary are Barbara's parents, then she is your full sister and your half-brother's half-sister. If Barbara's parents are Steven and Jane, then Barbara is not related to you (unless there is an adoption).
