Genetically speaking, am I more closely related to my individual parents, or one of my siblings, excluding identical twins?
In: Biology
There are chances you have genes, recessive or not, that you do not share with your siblings. They might have been passed to you but not your brother. So, technically speaking, you are closer to your parents. For example. Your mum has blue eyes and round head, and your dad has green eyes and an oval head. You have a round head and green eyes and your sister has oval head with blue eyes. You share with your parents the green eyes (dad) and round head (mum). With your sister you share… nothing! Please note this is a very specific case that is used just for example, you have a lot in common with your sister as well 🙂
