Genetic variation between siblings occurs because during meiosis, the process of gamete - formation, each parent's chromosomes randomly assort and recombine. So, each sibling inherits a unique, random mixture of genes from each parent. Siblings do not receive identical sets of chromosomes. It's not that genes from one parent always dominate to cause variation, and environmental factors do not solely determine differences as genetics play a major role.
