After doing further research on this topic of “genes” I can see why certain characters refer to Solid Snake and Liquid Snake as Big Boss’s sons, it’s cause of how in a way, say for example, if a human female like a certain species of a lizards asexually reproduces were to clone herself using her own chromosomes and an egg donor (or her own) (though unless if she had two different sex cells that’s dominant and recessive) but because shes human, she’d be making an exact clone of herself. But, if genes were shared between her own and someone elses, she would have an offspring that had different genes as either dominant or recessive.

In this case, Big Boss had heterozygous alleles, though the process to make clones was successful but under genetic modification, the clones’ genetic alleles were swapped turning them from being naturally heterozygous like Big Boss to homozygous, so in a way it’s like with the New Mexico Whiptail lizards who are able to (naturally) produce clones of themselves while also being able to produce natural offspring that have half the genetic parings of the parent lizard making the offspring uniquely different and off their own as a daughter and not much of an exact clone.

So furthermore, Solid Snake and Liquid Snake were naturally clones but had their DNA modified down to where their genes are half identical to that of Big Boss if I had to label them, being that they were forced to be created with no freewill of their own, I’d say to Big Boss they’re “sons” and “brothers” (since they were going to be natural clones but are now half that due to genetic modification) as clones.

Also, with Solidus Snake, he like from what Big Boss said in the MGS4 ending when explaining to Solid Snake “he was a perfect clone” like how I explained on this already, Solidus was cloned without any modifications making him have the exact genetic makeup as Big Boss where he has both the dominant and recessive gene which would make him an actual brother to Big Boss as a clone entirely.

i don't know if you wanna do change up any of the profiles in the wiki after this, i did my homework already.
