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.

This type of mutation occurs when one or more base pairs are added to the gene sequence. PLEASEEEEE HELPPPPP MEEEE!!!!
aksik [14]

Answer:

Insertion

Explanation:

Mutation is a phenomenon in which the nucleotide sequence of a gene in DNA is changed into a new sequence due to insertion, deletion or  exchange of a gene segment.

Insertion is a type of  mutation in which one or more than pne base sequence in added into the DNA of an organism. This insertion may or may not be dangerous depending on the place of insertion and how it is causing adverse effects on the protein product of the gene.

Here is an example of insertion mutation:

Base sequence: AUG GCC TGC

Product:           met     ala      gln

Insertion:

Base sequence: AUG GCC   C TG     C

Product:              met     ala      Leu

So we can see that the product protein is changed because of insertion.

Hope it helps!
