Which of the following will not result in variations among siblings?

Independent assortment of genes

B

Crossing over

C

Linkage

D

Mutation

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Linkage will not result in variations among siblings.
= Sibling means each of two or more children or offspring having one or both parents in common,a brother or a sister. The emotional bond between the siblings is often complicated and is also influenced by factors such as parental treatment, birth order, personality and personal experiences outside the family. Identical twins share 100% of their DNA. Full siblings are first degree relatives and on average share 50% of their genes out of those that vary among humans. Half-siblings are second-degree relatives and have, on average, a 25% overlap in their human genetic variation
