These Famous Sisters Prove That Blood Is Thicker Than Water
They are talented and beautiful, and it apparently runs in the family.
Science says that siblings only share around half of the same DNA due to recombination. So, while biological siblings may share the same family tree, their genetic codes may differ in at least one of the areas examined in a test.
Even fraternal twins fall within this category. Well, that's what science says, but we might disagree.
To prove our point, we've created a list of famous, talented sisters who seem to share more than just half. How else would you explain so much talent?
They pursued careers in acting, music, sports, and reality television, followed similar life paths, and established names for themselves apart from their celebrity family members. It's biologically logical, considering they're both made of the same stuff.
Some have a noticeable likeness, while others bear no resemblance at all. But the most important thing is that they are all talented and famous.
So, genes worked really well where it counts the most, wouldn't you say? The most successful sisters in Hollywood share one characteristic: they consistently put each other before fame and wealth.
So, let us take a look at our list of famous celebrity sisters who prove that blood is thicker than water. Enjoy!

So, is fame a result of work, effort, and discipline, or simple gene recombination? It is hard to say, but we believe it is both.
The most important thing we've noticed is that most of these sisters are close (or at least get along just fine). Maybe it is because they are so genetically alike… Who knows…
