Best Answer

because siblings share much of the same DNA. if the parents are the same, then each child will have half it's DNA for either parent, so siblings will share an average of half their DNA, ending up with the similar characteristics that their DNA codes for. for siblings with only one parent in common, an average of a quarter of their DNA is the same.
