Is your granddaughter your blood relative?
If she is your biological granddaughter (not step or adopted), yes.
Is a stepson a legal relative?
If by "stepson" you mean someone who was legally adopted into the family - yes, they are a legal relative. However, they are NOT considered to be a "blood" relative.
If mother remarries and stepfather adopts the child and changes the last name on the birth certificate does the child become a blood relative?
The only way you are a BLOOD relative is if you have the same blood line. You can't change a persons biological parents. If the step father adopts the child, then the child is by law their child and a family member, but not a literal blood relative.
Is an in-law legally considered a descendant?
No. Descendants are your biological children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and so on. Some people call these blood relatives, but not all your blood relatives are your descendants. For example, your first cousin is a "blood relative" but not your descendant. On the other hand, everyone is descended from someone, so everyone is a descendant - just not yours.
Can an A positive blood type father parent an O negative blood type child?
Yes, especially if someone in the family (particularly the mother, or other biological relative) carries that blood type or a similar blood type.
Would a son in law be a blood relative?
While a son-in-law is a relative, he is not a blood relative. Neither would be a daughter-in-law, step-father, step-mother, step-brother, step-sister, or the spouse of a 2nd marriage to one of your relatives. Blood relative means another person shares DNA within a group of related persons. So typically, your direct genetic and genealogical (family tree) line would go from grandparent to parent to you. All of your grandparents' children (your parents and their siblings), your siblings, and your own children (when you have children) are blood relatives. An adopted sibling would not be a blood relative to other biological siblings.
Which of the following is NOT a type of biological agent Viruses Toxins Blood Bacteria?
Toxins are not considered biological agents, as they are typically produced by living organisms but do not have the ability to replicate on their own like viruses, bacteria, and blood cells.
Is biological father is the father in blood?
Yes, a biological family member is one that you are related to by blood.
What defines an in-law?
An in-law is a relative by marriage rather than by blood. For example, a spouse's parents are considered in-laws to their child's partner.
What is a blood relative?
A blood relative is a person who is related to another through a common ancestor, not by marriage or adoption.
Is a niece considered a blood relative to an aunt?
Yes, your niece is the daughter of your sibling (sister or brother), so there is continuity of "blood" (i.e., genetic descent) from your common parent(s), assuming your sister/brother and her/his daughter are not adopted.
What is a near relative?
A near relative is typically defined as a family member who is closely related by blood, marriage, or adoption, such as parents, children, siblings, spouse, grandparents, and in-laws. They are considered to have a close personal relationship with an individual.
