Answer: D

Explanation: They can be sure if they both take a blood test. There is a possibility both jane and john are carriers of sickle cell(AS), which makes it possible to have children with sickle cell disease. Also, both jane and john may not be carriers at all (AA), in that case none of their child will have sickle cell, likewise if either of them is AA, and the other is a carrier, none of their child will have sickle cell.

Explain why most farmers use stem cuttings to plant new fruit trees rather than plant seeds.
Dvinal [7]

The main reason that most farmers use stem cuttings rather than just planting a seed is that a tree's genetic variation will occur. The seeds of many fruit trees tend to vary differently from the parent, because seeds themselves are produced by sexual reproduction (i.e they receive genes from a male and female to form). As they are a cross from two sets of genes, many fruit trees are not “true to seed”. Their seeds will produce a generally different variety of tree from the parent. When using stem cuttings, it's almost like a cloning process.
