Answer:

C

Explanation:

The brother has different alleles for the blood type gene than his sister does.  Blood type is inherited from parents like many other traits that can be displayed on a punnet square.  Depending on what the parents blood type alleles were, the brother and sister could have different blood types.  

A different number of chromosomes doesn't lead to different blood types, so D is wrong.  And A is incorrect because the number genes also does not affect blood type.  And I think the blood type genes are on the same chromosome, so B is wrong.  C is correct because blood type is inherited by alleles, and different alleles can cause different traits, such as blood types.

natita [175]

The image shows a red blood cell in different solution. The first image shows an RBC in a hypotonic solutions. The RBC swell and lyse because of the osmotic movement or referred to as hemolysis. The second image shows a normal RBC in an isotonic solution. There is no net change of water to the RBC. The third image shows a shriveled RBC in a hypertonic solution. The water leak out of the RBC briskly than it enters the cell. It is also called as crenated cell.

Two principal approaches governing the study of animal behavior​
Ksivusya [100]

Ecological and ethological approaches to the study of behaviour. The natural history approach of Darwin and his predecessors gradually evolved into the twin sciences of animal ecology, the study of the interactions between an animal and its environment, and ethology, the biological study of animal behaviour.

How does the size of the soil particles impact<br> the soil's permeability (movement of water)?
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

Water moves by gravity into the open pore spaces in the soil, and the size of the soil particles and their spacing determines how much water can flow in. Wide pore spacing at the soil surface increases the rate of water infiltration, so coarse soils have a higher infiltration rate than fine soils.

How does soil particle size affect permeability?

But permeability is a different thing. It increases as particle size increases. By definition, permeability is a MEASURE OF EASE with which fluids will flow though a porous rock, soil or sediment. ... That means capillarity increase as particle sizes decreases.
