Is it possible for sisters to have babies from the same brother and the babies to have the same physical defect?

It completely depends on the type of defect;if it is X recessive or if it is not X recessive at all. For example: Consider two healthy sisters;one of them with chromosomal defect that doesn't show it: Aa&AA and the father Aa: Aa*Aa:1/2 Aa,1/4 aa,1/4AA AA*Aa:1/2AA,1/2Aa As we see the first sister may have a defective child but the second one may never have a defective child.
