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.

What portion of genes are shared by 2 first cousins?

First cousins share approximately 12.5% of their genes on average.

The exact percentage can vary slightly due to the random nature of genetic inheritance.


If you inherit half of your genes from your mother and half of your genes from your father what percent of your genes did you inherit from each of your grandparent?
