Probable paternity, worthy of any soap opera script.
OK, I was just presented with a possible situation that I just do not believe. Here we go... is it possible for two brothers to be tested for paternity on a single child and get an overwhelmingly positive result for both daddy to be's? A friend who has no knowledge in genealogy, or any specific science for that matter, feels that the DNA shared between siblings would be similar enough to generate a 99.9% positive result from either brother.
Is this possible? Or, is it more probable that one of the brothers would be clearly found to be the child's father, while the other "father to be"s results would show some genetic characteristics shared, but not enough to be mistaken for being the child's father? Thank you all in advance for your assistance with this soap opera-esque conundrum! :eek:
