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.

A given mass of oxygen at room temperature occupies a volume of 500. 0 ml at 1. 50 atm pressure. what pressure must be applied t
andreev551 [17]

5 atm pressure must be applied to compress the gas to a volume of only 150.0 ml.

<h3>Given</h3>

Mass of oxygen at room temperature =500.0 ml

Volume of pressure = 50 atm pressure.

The gas to a volume = 150.0 ml

<h3>Explanation</h3>

The volume decreases by the factor = 500.0 mL / 150.0 mL

                                                             = 10 / 3

The pressure of the gas increased by a factor of 10/3 , which would make its final value equal to

P_{final} = \frac{10}{3} * 1.50 atm

          = 5.00 atm

So, 5 atm pressure must be applied to compress the gas to a volume of only 150.0 ml.

As a scientist, you seek to prove that DNA is the hereditary macromolecule by replicating the Hershey-Chase experiment. You cult
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is option e. "None of the above".

Explanation:

The Hershey-Chase experiment helped to prove that DNA was the genetic material, by specifically labeling the DNA material of a bacteriophage with phosphorus-32. In this experiment the lambda phage is labeled with heavy and light Cl. CI-36, the one that is heavy and radioactive, corresponds to Chlorine-36. Chlorine is not an element found in DNA such as phosphorus, therefore lambda DNA will not be labeled and no radioactivity will be detected.
