Two brothers inhent different sets of alleles from their parents what effect will this have?

If two brothers inherit different sets of alleles from their parents, they will have different phenotypes. For example, one may have blue eyes and the other may have brown eyes. One may be tall and the other may be average height. One may have type A positive blood type and the other may have type A negative blood type. Regardless, they can only inherit the alleles that their parents carry in their own genomes.


Should inheritance be divided equally to children that do not treat parents the same?

Parents can divide their property any way they wish when they draft a will. They are under no obligation, legal or otherwise, to make equal distributions to their children. In many cases there is a child who provides more comfort and assistance to the parents. Parents can reward that child by giving them a larger share of the estate. Parents can also take into consideration the needs of their children. They can give more to their children who need more. The important thing to remember is that the parents can decide what to do with their property. On the other hand, if the parents fail to draft wills then the state will divide the property according to the state laws of intestacy. In that case, the children will all take an equal share. You can check the laws in your state at the related question link.


What is the probability that the children will be heterozygous?

Being born with six fingers is actually a dominant trait and the probability of the children would be 75% with six fingers and 25% with five fingers if both parents were heterozygous for that trait. If both parents were homozygous dominant for that trait then there is a 100% probability of the children being born with six fingers.


How is asexual reproduction similar or different to plants versus organisms?

plants usually do it to grow and other organinsms to reproduce


Why are two cells resulting from meiosis 1 not identical?

Sort of, yes. Meiosis gives offspring a random mixture of their parents genes. The likelihood of multiple offspring having the same random mixture is very small, but very similar mixtures happen frequently and result in strong family resemblance. Offspring aren't identical to each other because they get these different mixtures. If each child had DNA identical to one of their parents then there would be a 50% chance for two children born to the same parents to look exactly the same.
