No, your first cousin (whether twice removed or otherwise) is not in your direct line of descent and you can inherit nothing genetically from that person. You can inherit genes from your parents that your first cousin (whether twice removed or at some other removal) inherited from his parents.

Can you take genes from your first cousin twice removed?

You and your first cousin twice removed probably share more genes with each other than you do with someone you might meet at random on the street. But you cannot take genes from anyone, whether they are your first cousin twice removed or not.


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%.


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 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?

You inherit 50% of your genes from each parent, and since each parent inherits half of their genes from each of their parents (your grandparents), you receive 25% of your genes from each grandparent. Therefore, you inherit 25% of your genes from each of your four grandparents.

Can you take traits from your first cousin twice removed?

You can have traits that are shared. It's somewhat complicated, though. The basic genetic sharing between a first cousin twice removed and you is 1/32. So, assuming the trait in question is coded by a single place on the genome, it's roughly 1/32 chance that it will be inherited (see below)That's for general inheritance. There's also two sex-linked forms of inheritance: Y chromosome inheritance (which goes through males) and mitochondrial inheritance (which goes through females). If you're in purely female or purely male lines, you not only may but will share significant genetic traits with your first cousin twice removed.That is, if the first cousin twice removed is the son of a brother of your paternal grandfather, you will share an Y chromosome. If your first cousin twice removed is the daughter of the sister of your maternal grandmother, you will share mitochondrial DNA structure.Inheritance fraction:Your first cousin, twice removed is your grandparent's cousin. You and your grandparent share 1/4 of your genes (your share 1/2 with your parent, which again share 1/2 with your grandparent). Your grandparent and their cousin share 1/8 of their genes (1/2 with your great-grand parent, who again share 1/2 with their sibling, who again share 1/2 with their child which would be the cousin). 1/4 of 1/8 is 1/32, so the net a similarity to a second cousin twice removed is 1/32. Your first cousin, twice removed, may also be the grandchild of your first cousin.

Can you have genes from your aunts and uncles?

Yes, you can inherit genes from your aunts and uncles, but indirectly. You receive half of your genetic material from each parent, and they, in turn, inherit their genes from their parents, which includes your grandparents. This means that you may share some genetic traits with your aunts and uncles through your parents' genetic contributions. However, you do not inherit genes directly from them.
