Why is one sister often heavier than the other?

It's not solely about genetics. Even then, unless they are identical twins, they are not genetically identical.

But even if they were, weight is not decided by genetics alone. They might have different lifestyles, different circles of friends, and encounter different events during their lives which might influence their lifestyles.

Why is one sister often heavier than the other?

However, according to my experience, sisters more often have similar weights than not.

Most sisters I know, are either all thin, or all fat. I know very few exceptions where one is significantly fatter than the other.

Why is one sister often heavier than the other?

Not everyone gets the same genes. There are families who might have two sisters with different hair color or eye color.

Why is one sister often heavier than the other?

My sister is 5'3" and about 115 pounds. I'm 5'8" and 353 pounds! I'm obviously quite fat now, but even when I was thin I was much larger than her. I take after Dad in my build, she takes after Mom.

Jshep2158:
I knew these two cheerleaders who were sisters back in hs. They both had very pretty faces and wore thick black glasses outside of cheerleading! One was curvy and the other one was thin. The Mom and Dad were fat!

How does this happen? How does genetics work?


What happens is the bigger stronger one grabs the food first.
