Your parents.

You have a mix of 50% dad dna and 50% mom dna.

But the genes you take from your mom and the genes you take form your dad are random.

So your sibling is also 50% mom and 50% dad, but it might be a different mix of genes.

This is why siblings can have different hair colors, eyes colors, and in general look really different and be really different.
