You and your siblings share parents. Every time a child is conceived that child receives half of the mother's DNA (genes) and half of the father's genes. If the same mother and father have more than one child, they still only have the same genes to contribute, but they might be mixed in different combinations. That is why you resemble your brothers and sisters, but probably don't look exactly alike.

Why do siblings have similar physical characteristics?

Siblings look-a-like because they all have the same parents. Siblings don't look identical to their parents, they have variation in their characteristics. The same thing happens with plants and other organisms. Unless you have an identical twin. If you have an identical twin, you both have the exact same characteristics. The cell of identical twins makes an exact same copy with the cell. The process is called 'Embryo'.

Why don't you look exactly like your siblings?

Genes alter our looks and physique, not every sibling has the same genes and therefore they look different. Each sibling has a different combanation of genes some from the father and some form the mother but they wont look the same because unless they are identical twins, thay each have unique combination of alleles.


With the exception of identical twins siblings who have the same two biological parents are likely to look similar but not identical to each other because they have?

Different combinations of genes inherited from their parents, leading to variations in physical traits like height, eye color, and facial features. This genetic diversity results in siblings having similarities in appearance but not being identical to each other.


Can two children with the same father but different mothers look alike?

Because if the parents look different than the children look different, for example me and my dad look alike and me and my brother look different because my mom also looked different from me. I don't look like my mom. My brother doesn't look like my dad! I hope you liked my answer, if you did please email: elanisevilla@yahoo.com Thanks!

Are android 17 and android 18 siblings?

It depends on how you look at them, they where both created by Dr.Gero just as siblings have the same parents, so in that way they are, however in order to be siblings they would have to be human, saying that two machines are siblings would be like saying that two phones are siblings because they where both made at the same time, so in my opinion they are not siblings.
