coefficient of relatedness​

the mean number of genes shared between two related individuals. Identical twins share 100% of their genes and have a coefficient of relatedness of 1. Between siblings and between parents and offspring, the coefficient of relatedness is .5; between uncles or aunts and nieces or nephews and between grandparents and grand-offspring, it is .25; and between first cousins, it is .125. Most studies of kin recognition and kin-directed behavior show effects only with coefficients of relatedness of 0.25 and greater. See also inclusive fitness.

Thanks, but I'm still having a problem with the "Monkey shares 98%" part. Again, it's been a long time since biology class, but this helps me;

DNA, genes and chromosomes | Virtual Genetics Education Centre | University of Leicester

The study of DNA is crucial for developing new treatments and other modern day problems. Here at The University of Leicester we provide a range of information for different levels of education to aid studies.

So basically your genes define how you are different from others of our species while your dna defines us as a species. So a chimp shares 98% of our dna and I share lots of genes with my sibings, but this isn't the same as saying that I share lots of genes with a chimp, is it? I'm certainly not getting this from the Coefficient of Relatedness article.
