What relation would be your half-sister's half-sister be to you?

You have no blood line relation, You don't share DNA whatsoever. In this scenario putting an example; you and your half-sister share, let's say, the same father but not the same mother and your half-sister's half-sister share the same mother but not the same father. There is no shared DNA between you and your half-sister's half-sister.


Who do you get your DNA from?

Its a combination of your mom's and you dad's. Identical twins have the same dna


Are sisters as closely related as mother and daughter?

no, not quite. a child gets it's genetic material from it's parents. half from the mother and half from the father. when reproductive cells divide the gametes(like sperm and eggs) that result are not exact copies each time either. when they are being produced in the body there is a factor or randomness that makes each gamete a little different. so sisters both get half their DNA from their mother and half from their father but it's not necessicarily the same half. so sisters have similar genetics but not the same. on the other hand mothers and daughters share some ofthe exact DNA, not all of it but some. so your DNA is more like your mothers than your sisters, unless you're an identical twin, then your the same amount of related to your sister and your mom!


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.


Who would be an exact match of your DNA?

no one has the same DNA. you would have to be cloned. even identical twins dont have the same DNA.


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.


What percentage of your DNA is the same as your parents?

You share approximately 50% of your DNA with each of your biological parents. This is because you inherit half of your DNA from your mother and half from your father during the process of genetic inheritance.


Can brothers and sisters share the same DNA?

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.


What do you call a sister who has a different mother?

If you have a sister with the same dad but different mom, then she's probably your half-sister, although she would have about 25% of the same DNA as yours.


Can i get a dna from my half brother?

A person can have a DNA test done to see if someone is their half brother. The DNA would have to be taken from both half brothers and both parents or the parent they both believe is their biological parent.


Is your mother or father's DNA strand transcribed?

Father's DNA precedes Mother's DNA. If siblings have the same Father they are considered Whole siblings. If siblings have the same Mother but not same Father they are considered Half siblings


What would happen to the amount of cellular DNA when cells divides if DNA replication did not occur?

If DNA replication did not occur, then when the cell divides the amount of DNA available would be divided. Half going into the knew cell the other half remaining in the parent cell. Each cell would then contain only half the number of chromosomes that it should have and would die fairly quickly.
