You have received exactly half of your genetic material from your mother, who received exactly half of her genetic material from her mother (your grandmother).
 
  A. Explain why it is unlikely that you share exactly one-quarter of your genetic material with your grandmother, and instead it is more accurate to say that in general people receive an average of one-quarter of their genetic endowment from each grandparent.
  B. Consider a gene on Chromosome 3 that you received from your grandmother. Is it likely you received an entire Chromosome 3 from your grandmother? Why or why not?
  C. What portion of your genetic material do you share with your sibling? Your aunt? Your cousin?
