So this whole heritability thing is kind of kicking my butt. I mean I get that is has to do with my genes and everything. But the activities we had to do really confused me more then helped me. But I'll talk about the part that I do get. The whole sharing genes part, and how we should be more like our siblings then our parents. Well for me this is kind of true, but then again not really. Or at least not that I can see.
I have one younger brother, and to tell you the truth I think we are sometimes complete opposites. I guess maybe I think this because of the whole he is a boy and I'm a girl thing. But if I really look at it I still don't see how we are alike. We really don't look that much alike, we have certain features that are the same but not many. And are personalities are pretty opposite. My brother is very quite around new people, me not so much.
So I guess this is really the only part that I'm getting about the whole heritability thing. I guess I'll just have look at it a little more and see if I can figure it out.

The text also said that siblings are often UNlike eachother because they both havre the potential to inherit different genes from their parents and both can respond to the same environment differently. I think you may be getting the whole "similar sibling" concept mixed up with the twin studies?
