So today I have brought my sister in and made her take at 23 meat d n A test.

So we can know for sure if we are actually related if I'm adopted.

And if I'm not how similar our ancestor is given that we look pretty different.

Way are both together.

We've both taken the 23 meet kit.

How are you feeling?

Oh, I'm so excited.

Do you think that we're gonna be very similar?

Interesting.

The exact same, Totally different.

I think we're going to be not exactly the same, but really similar.

So I think Mitch and I look like in some respects and in other respects, I think that we don't But a lot of people think that we do not look alike often times.

Actually, they'll say that they think that Greg from a stop science is my brother and he's the one I'm related to and not Mitch.

So it's called 23 me because we all have 23 pairs of chromosomes and it's a personal genetic service that looks into your DNA to tell you about the regions of the world your ancestors come from and can tell you about physical traits, sleep patterns and even how your DNA impacts things like muscle composition and caffeine consumption.

Both Kim and I used the kit to submit a spit sample and then waited to get our report online.

Okay, so I've actually already I did this before with Greg on this channel.

So we're gonna, like, refresh what my ancestry is before we dive into yours.

So this is the map.

That kind of shows a breakdown of what I am.

So I'm 63% european, but then you can see all these colorful spots all over the map.

When Greg did this, it was literally, just all in one area.

I'm 99.99%.

So you're white.

So I've got to feel really, like, proud that I was like, four divers.

So that gives you a general sense of my background and what I am.

I never Because I'm like, I don't really know if it's identical O'Donnell.

I'm scared to find out if you like.

I don't understand this.

Imagine It's just like E just like And then Greg and I really are you gonna lead and matched?

It's like found.

It's like an attraction.

Well, I see color.

I see lots of colors.

What I got from Africa, you have more.

Oh, my gosh, There's is, like, really beautiful.

I would have fully thought that she was, like, almost entirely of European descent.

This tells us where your ancestors came from and how long ago your most That is so cool.

Yeah, so you can see, like a British in South Asian are like pretty recent press.

You literally have family from and still living way obviously probably have relatives still in Britain and Europe to compare exactly.

I have 63.2% European and me and you have 61.9%.

The fact that I'm more European than Kim.

I wouldn't have guessed that, and I know that it's kind of silly, just a base it on the assumption of like skin tone.

And we're not that far apart.

In skin tone like that was like definitely a big shock.

Then South Asian, you are 21.2% and I'm 23.5, which seems like pretty much the same.

And it's interesting that we probably got those same genes from when you tell people that you are part Indian or South Asian like you tell people that didn't go like yeah, people and sometimes he will be like, Oh, now I see.

And then other people like you don't look Indian.

I owe your Maur East Asian and Native American than a lot of Chinese ancestry.

I find I would never expected.

It is so crazy because I bet Yeah, like I think people like could guess not could guess it for me, but I don't think anyone they probably would have thought 100% stand 100% British, you know, like and then you have 0.2% sub Saharan African and I have 0%.

I am definitely the most surprised that I am 00.2% sub Saharan African broadly north, East African and broad.

The Western.

Why is that in my d n a.

Not yours?

I don't understand that if Kim and Mitch both inherit 50% from their moms egg and 50% from their dad sperm, shouldn't their DNA be the same.

Not exactly.

One way to think about DNA is as a bunch of different colored beads.

Obviously, Mitch and Kim's parents have complex DNA, but let's pretend their mums is 100% Indian and their dad is 100% British.

If this were the case, Kim would get a random half of her mum speeds in a random half of her dad's beads.

Mitch, we got another random half.

As you can see, it's a different mix, but each is still 50 50 British.

And let's change it to their mom having a bunch of different backgrounds that make up her ancestry and let's leave their dads the same.

Kim might have DNA that looks like this while Mitch is might look like this.

As you can see, there is some overlap, but Kim has some ancestry that isn't represented in Mitch at all.

And before your mom and dad passed down their chromosomes, something happened during the infamous process of my oh Cece, each parent's own chromosome swap some DNA amongst pairs, therefore, every egg and every sperm is unique.

I wonder if our other brothers and our parents did it.

We might even find out like there's other regions of the world that we do have ancestors from.

Okay, so we have been told that there are gonna be results about, like, musical pitch musicality.

Do you think that one of us is more musical than the other?

No, I feel like you are.

I think you probably I don't think you're perfect.

Pitch a cz.

I feel like, you know, If you did, you told me you are more likely to be able to match the musical pitch, and I'm about a 50 50 chance of being a match musical pitch.

Salim Words.

Based on genetics and other factors, Kim is more likely to match a musical pitch than Mitch.

But how, exactly to 23 me figure this out?

Whether you sing professionally or just in the shower matching musical pitch is a lot of work for your brain.

First, when your ear hears a sound, the brain must quickly identify the pitch.

Second, the brain decides which vocal muscles are needed to produce a matching sounds.

Third, the brain then listens to your own voice, and your brain determines if it matches the original sound.

This complex process is linked to over 500 genetic markers associated with this specific trade.

Comparatively, the genetic trait that allows you to smell a distinct smell in your urine after your asparagus is only related to one genetic marker back to pitch 23 me uses the 500 plus markers along with other factors like age and sex to create a model.

So this model does predict that Kim is genetically Maur likely than Mitch to have perfect pitch.

But that doesn't officially mean one has better pitch than the other.

Do you have a fear of heights?

That's the next we're gonna look at.

Yeah, you do.

Oh, I'm absolutely terrified of heights.

Oh, wow.

Okay, going skydiving.

I've liked devilish things that I don't really think I'm scared of them.

Even though sometimes I'm like, you get that feeling when you're like, don't jump, you are more likely than average.

Be afraid of heights, and I'm less likely than average your defiance.

Isn't that so cool?

You know, we both have at least a little, which may actually be an understatement, because I have a lot of universe, and I did have a lot of here.

Okay, so 23 me also has, like, a share and compare section where we can literally connect and then compare directly RG And so what?

It actually was.

So are you ready to work?

Yeah, I like it.

If someone would have told you I was there when you I literally didn't go out.

Just ask.

Okay.

So you and I share 43.4% of our DNA.

That's it.

That's still a lot like identical twins would share 100% right, So there's no way we could have 100.

The average for siblings is around 50%.

So we're slightly lower, but still definitely siblings.

So I guess I am officially not adopted, though Now I'm realizing I literally could have just asked him because she was there when I was born.

Did you have fun?

I had so much I think that the whole experience, like, almost makes me feel closer to my siblings because you're kind of finding out a story that really is on Lee shared between you and the people you're closest to.

So it was like a fun little thing that I couldn't have experienced with really very many other people in this world.

If you're interested in doing this for your loved ones or yourself, there are seasonal promotions on right now.

We'll put links in the description, but go to 23 me dot com slash a sap to check it out and get your own kid.

Make sure you check out Kim's channel.

Asked Kimberly.

All put links to there as well.

Otherwise we'll see you next time.

Bye.
