Final answer:

Adopted siblings, fraternal twins, and identical twins can be placed in order from least to most biologically similar.

Step-by-step explanation:

In terms of biological similarity, the order from least to most similar would be:

  1. Adopted siblings
  2. Fraternal twins
  3. Identical twins

Adopted siblings share no genetic material, while fraternal twins share about 50% of their genetic material. However, identical twins are genetically identical because they come from the same fertilized egg. They share 100% of their genetic material, making them the most biologically similar.
