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.

What is the potential energy of a 0.15 kg apple hung on a 4-m high tree with respect to the ground?
Karolina [17]

▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ { \huge \mathfrak{Answer}}▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪

As we know,

\boxed{ \boxed{potential \:  \: energy = mgh}}

where,

  • m = mass of the object = 0.15 kg

  • g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

  • h = height attained by the object = 4 m

let's find the potential energy of that Apple :

  • 0.15 \times 9.8 \times 4

  • 5.88 \:  \: joules
