Me and my friend were having an argument about genetic relatedness between brother and sister, aunt and cousin. He thinks that brother and sister are 100% related in terms of genes while I try to tell him that we receive 50% random genes from each parent giving each sibling only a 50% relatedness.
I also remember some interesting facts about genetic relatedness between ant sisters being higher than the relatedness to their mother, 66% for sisters, 50% or less (not sure for mother)
Can someone find me some concrete evidence from a reputable source backing up all these facts which I am 100% sure are true.
How do you take into account higher frequencies of dominant to recessive genes, as those work at a 3:1 ratio. Can you also have two dominant genes with a different phenotype end in a frequency of 50%?
This is basic genetics people, someone must have an answer, I left my book at home, easy 10 points to an educated person in science and anthropology.
