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.

Lyrx [107]
The answers are:

- very high humidity
- vines
- palms
- highest species diversity 
- gorillas 

Rainforests have very high humidity because it rains throughout the whole year and is constant summer, so the precipitation and high temperature contribute to very high humidity.
The rainforests have the highest species diversity of any biome, both animals, and plants, including plants like the vines that crawl on the other trees and the palms, as well as animals like the gorilla in Africa, in the Congo basin.

What are the differences between the endocrine and nervous systems?
son4ous [18]

Answer:

Explanation:

The endocrine system is a complex of glands that secrete <u>hormones</u> as a chemical messenger. These hormones carry information and instructions throughout the bloodstream from one part of the body to another. These hormones control many body functions such as respiration, sensory perception, metabolisms, growth, reproduction, the mood among others.

On the other hand, the nervous system is made up of neurons that communicate with each other to extend a message (from our own body or the outside) to the brain, for analysis and further decision of what to do with that information. A group of neurons, sensory neurons, respond to several stimuli such as touch, light, and sound to let the brain know about the surrounding environment. Another group of neurons, motor neurons, work inside the body and carry signals to active muscle or glands.
