Fun Fact Friday

In honour of National Roots Day, here is today's well rooted fun fact!  

Did you know that...

"When taking a DNA test, you and your siblings can have differing amounts of certain ethnicities, even if you’re full siblings. This is because of genetic inheritance and its naturally random way of dishing out the gene percentages. So, if you and your brother are partly of Scandinavian heritage, you could be twenty percent Scandinavian while your brother could be forty-five percent (or vice versa).” (Perkins, 2019)
