Are the kitchen cousin a couple?
Eh? What part of "cousins" you don't get? They are related to each other as cousins. They even look alike because they share the same genes.
What best expresses the relationship between genes and DNA?
A gene is a portion of DNA. It takes multiple genes to make DNA.
Can you inherit genes from distant cousins?
No, you can only inherit genes from your direct ancestors (parents, grand parents, great grandparents, etc.) However, both you and a distant cousin could have inherited the same gene from a common ancestor. There is no way your cousins can pass anything to you.

If identical brothers impregnated identical sisters would the babies be identical cousins?
No, because not all genes are selected from the parents. Identical brothers/sisters have exactly the same genes...the egg split just after genes were selected. They will sure look similar, though.

If your parents are first cousins and they have disabled children will you have disabled children too?
The risk for first cousins to have disabled children is the same odds as people who are not related so this depends on if there's a hereditary reason on one or both side of the family or what other reason the disability appeared. Disability can be many things. Speak to your parents and ask your doctor so they can test if this is something hereditary in your genes.
Are you still related to your first cousin twice removed and do you share genes with her?
Answer:Oh my dear Lord in Heaven are you serious? Of course you are still related to her. Pray to the Lords that these vile thoughts are purged from your young mind. Answer:Genetically, a first cousin twice removed is the same degree of kinship as a second cousin. Shared genes inherited from the common ancestor amount to about 3%.

May third cousin's conceive kids legally?
There are no laws that don't allow 3rd cousins to have children. However, you may want to consult a doctor first. Because the genes are close, the child may end up with a mutation.
Can a first cousin have children with a second cousin?
It depends on where you live whether it's legal or not but doctors have found that the risk is very small for getting damaged children between first cousins. The risks are greater in countries where people continue marrying and have children with first cousins but if it's not a custom there's usually no problem.
