Answer:

The best answer to the question: Why is it that two full siblings can be equally related to a given grandparent, even though both of them have received equal amounts of DNA from their mother and father? Would be: Genetic recombination.

Explanation:

When an offspring receives chromosomes from the father´s sperm and the mother´s egg, a process takes place to ensure that these chromosomes appropriately combine and the balance is maintained on the total number of chromosomes and also on which gene will be phenotypically expressed on one offspring, and which in another. This process is called genetic recombination and basically it is a shuffling of genes. This means that the parents of the two full siblings each received a copy of chromosomes from both their own parents, one of which would be the grandparent of the full siblings. But as meiosis takes place and the chromosomes fuse, shuffling, or recombination takes place, and while one offspring will receive a given set of genes, the other may receive the same, or another set. This means that as generations are born, genetic material from the grandparent will further recombine with those of others present and the percentage of genetic material directly linked to that grandparent will diminish, but will not completely disappear. Thus, genetically, we will be linked to the progenitor line, but the percentage of genes directly received will lessen.

In some areas of Florida, manatees gather near spring waters during cold weather because the temperature of the springs is alway
Alexxx [7]
From the data, the manatee population obviously increased after the regulations went into affect  and the deaths due to watercraft reduced from 25 to 8 after the regulations were put into effect. The population increased by 165% from 1980=-2010 and the drop in deaths due to watercraft decreased by 
68%.So this is not a direct correlation but at least it shows that the watercraft deaths decreased significantly. Since the population increased at a greater rate then it may be that more females were spared so could mate and give birth to that many more manatees.
