If your brothers and sisters are "full blood" because you share the same parents....
Your cousins would be "half blood" because you share the same grandparents.
Your second cousins would be "quarter blood" because you share the same great-grandparents.
Still blood relations, but just a tad more distant.

Well,I'd say no, because your brother/sister comes from the same mother and father, therefor they are full blood, when you have a brother/sister from one parent and not the other one, it is your half sibling...because they are half blood, related to you. Your cousin is part of your family and you do share blood, from a grandparent or great grandparent, so, no you are not full blood cousins.

No, they are usually "half" blood because they are your parents siblings children. This is why in some states its legal to marry your cousin, as the chance of genetic defects due to inbreeding is significantly lower than a brother and sister having a child. But they are still family.

No, sweet. Unless they are "double cousins" (two brothers marry two sisters and you and your cousin are the offspring of each couple respectively), they are not "full blood" relations.
However, cousins are still related and share some of the same genes, which is why it is not a good idea to marry one of them.

Cousins arent full blooded like brothers and sisters are but they are blood related. I think by law you can even marry your 3rd cousin but to me that would be strange especially for the family.

No, because your cousin takes some of their genetics from your blood relative (uncle or aunt) and some from that person's spouse, who is related only by marriage. So it is not "full blood", but close enough.

Umm. this is Kind of an oddly worded question. They are not as close to you as a sibling, but they are genetically related to you and share a good bit of your genes.
That is why cousins don't marry. The genetics are too close and may cause recessice genes to express themselves.

you dont share as many genes with your cousins as you do your siblings. if i remember right i think you share 1/2 your genes with your brothers and sisters and 1/8 with your cousins. but cousins are blood relatives.
