No, unless they are Identical Twins.

Normal siblings will on average share 50 percent of their genetic material, since they get half of their chromosomes from their mother and half from their father.

No, every persons DNA is different, however, brothers would have very similar DNA. Many traits of the DNA are hereditary, but no two sets of DNA are identical. Much like a thumb print only far more complex.

It is impossible for a brother and sister to have exactly the same chromosomes as the sex or gender chromosomes would have to be different for them to be boy and girl. Females have two X chromosomes and males an X ans a Y. This is why identical twins are always the same sex.

Recombination means their DNA may have had the same origin, but it's mixed in a way that makes them look very different. Only identical twins have an identical genetic makeup.

No two people share the same DNA. Brothers' DNA, however, would be more similar to each other than to the DNA of other people.

Brother or sister it doesn't matter they share an average of 50% of their DNA and identical twins DNA share 100%. Fraternal twins still share on average of 50% of their DNA.

Would two brothers have the simIlar dna?

It is very unlikely that two brothers would have babies with the same DNA. That could only happen if identical twin brothers married identical twin sisters, and even then the mixing of DNA during reproduction makes this an extremely unlikely outcome.

Why do siblings look alike?

because siblings share much of the same DNA. if the parents are the same, then each child will have half it's DNA for either parent, so siblings will share an average of half their DNA, ending up with the similar characteristics that their DNA codes for. for siblings with only one parent in common, an average of a quarter of their DNA is the same.
