Overview

Family/DNA

DNA

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a molecule composed of two chains (made of nucleotides) that coil around each other to form a double helix carrying the genetic instructions used in the growth, development, functioning and reproduction of all known living organisms.

Family

In the context of human society, a family is a group of people related by consanguinity by recognized birth, or by marriage.

Family (cont)

Members of the extended family may include grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and siblings-in-law. A first-degree relative is one who shares 50% of your DNA through direct inheritance.

Ancestral DNA Percentages


You - 1 - 100%, Parents - 2 - 50%, Grandparents - 4 - 25%, Great-Grandparents - 8 - 12.5%,
2nd-Great-Grandparents - 16 - 6.25%, 3rd-Great-Grandparents - 32 - 3.12%, 4th-Great-Grandparents - 64 - 1.56%,
5th-Great-Grandparents - 128 - 0.78%.

There is a 99.6% chance that you will have DNA from all of your 16 2nd-Great-Grandparents, only a 54% chance of sharing DNA
with all 32 of your 3rd-Great-Grandparents, and a 0.01% chance for your 64 4th-Great-Grandparents.

Pedigree


Parents - 2, Grandparents - 4, Great-Grandparents - 8,
2nd-Great-Grandparents - 16, 3rd-Great-Grandparents - 32, 4th-Great-Grandparents - 64, 5th-Great-Grandparents - 128,
6th-Great-Grandparents - 256, 7th-Great-Grandparents - 512.

What Is a Cousin?


Cousins are people who share a common ancestor that is at least 2 generations away, such as a grandparent or great-grandparent. You and your siblings are not cousins because your parents are only 1 generation away from you.


What Is a Second Cousin?


The number associated with your cousin has to do with how many generations away your common ancestor is.

For example:
First cousins share a grandparent (2 generations)
Second cousins share a great-grandparent (3 generations)
Third cousins share a great-great-grandparent (4 generations)
Fourth cousins share a 3rd-great grandparent (5 generations)

To be “once removed” from a cousin means you are separated by one generation. The number before “removed” will always represent the number of generations you are separated (“removed”) from the cousin. (Source: Family Search).

The English word "clan" is derived from old Irish clann meaning "children", "offspring", "progeny" or
"descendants"; it is not from the word for "family" or "clan" in either Irish or Scottish Gaelic.
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word "clan" was introduced into English in around 1425,
as a descriptive label for the organization of society in Ireland and the Scottish Highlands.
None of the Irish and Scottish Gaelic terms for kinship groups is cognate to English clan;
Scottish Gaelic clann means "descendants". (Source: Wikipedia).

In 1953, he co-authored with Francis Crick the academic paper proposing the double helix structure
of the DNA molecule. Watson, Crick and Maurice Wilkins were awarded the 1962 Nobel Prize
in Physiology or Medicine "for their discoveries concerning the molecular structure of nucleic acids
and its significance for information transfer in living material". (Source: Wikipedia)
