Can you share DNA and not be related?
Not necessarily. Even though your genealogical relationship is 4th cousins, your genetic relationship can be non-existent. You will only share DNA with your 4th cousins about 50-60% of the time. It is also possible to share a certain amount of DNA with someone who isn’t actually your cousin!
Do siblings with same parents have same blood type?
No it doesn’t. Neither of your parents has to have the same blood type as you. For example if one of your parents was AB+ and the other was O+, they could only have A and B kids. In other words, most likely none of their kids would share either parent’s blood type.
