Could normal genetic processes (no errors) cause two non-twin sisters to be more genetically similar to each other than either is to
their mother or father?
O a. No because crossovers randomize the grand-parental alleles
O b. None of the above choices are correct.
O c.
Yes because similar grandparental combinations could be in the gametes that produced both of them.
O d. Yes because crossovers create new combinations of alleles.
O e.
No because they inherit exactly the same number of chromosomes from each parent.
