Answer:

Siblings inherit essentially 50% of their genes from each parent, but two sibling offspring may share with each other from zero to 23 chromosomes in common from each parent and therefore very widely from each other.

Explanation:

It is not a surprise that when two brothers do a DNA test the results are very similar. However, it may be a surprise to many people that two brothers (not twins) with exactly the same parents and ancestors may have a different genetic makeup. After all, identical ancestors should give identical genetic compositions, right?

Well, it's not that simple. In fact, it is even common for siblings to have different genetic compositions. There are several factors that can affect genealogical ethnicities and result in different chromosomes for siblings of the same parents.

The siblings inherit essentially 50% of their genes from each parent, but two children can share from zero to 23 common chromosomes from each parent and thus very widely from each other.

Answer:

Random segregation of homologous chromosomes makes the two siblings differ from each other for 0-23 chromosomes.

Explanation:

Sexual reproduction adds genetic variations in the progeny by crossing over, independent segregation of homologous chromosomes and random fusion of gametes. Without crossing over, independent segregation of homologous chromosomes towards opposite poles during anaphase I of meiosis may result in two siblings to vary from each other for 0-23 chromosomes.

There is an equal probability of each of the two siblings to get a chromosome from mother or father. Hence, irrespective of the variations provided by crossing over, random segregation of homologous chromosomes makes the two siblings differ from each other for 0-23 chromosomes.

Have you ever experienced swollen lymph nodes when you were sick? Why might this happen?
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

Yes, swollen lymph nodes are more common than some might think.

Explanation:

The medical terms for swollen lymph nodes are adenopathy or lymphadenopathy.

Lymph nodes play a vital role in fighting off sickness in the body. They act as a filter, trapping bacteria and viruses before they can spread too far.

Lymph nodes <em>typically</em> swell up as a response to bacteria or viruses. Though cancer can be a factor in swelling, it is very rare. Most commonly they are felt right below the corner of the jaw, in the neck. Yet, they are not only in the neck; they are all throughout the body. When they are swollen, they might feel tender or even painful.

How dose science influence the decisions made about social, economic, and political issues?
inysia [295]
This is a rather subjective question and has a lot to do with the type of society in which one lives. the more secular the world is becoming... gives science a huge spotlight on the stage. because science provides an answer with tons of evidence to back it up, it is seen as a reliable method to follow. So, socially speaking you may have experienced in a normal conversation where someone turns around and tells you that your opinions are just opinions and have nothing factual to back them up. This is where science comes in. Economically and politically speaking, science is used to justify different political aims of governments. However, this is done mostly through the misrepresentation of science by people who are trying to pursue their own agenda. So really this question can be answered in many ways and from many different perspectives but do not forget that science influences all streams for the better but also for the worse in the way in which it is represented.

Hope that helped
