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.

After Frida stops exercising, she continues to breathe heavily. What is most likely occurring in her body?
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

(D) Strenuous exercise has caused her body to be in oxygen debt, and she is breathing hard while lactate is transported to the liver. This is a result of anaerobic respiration.

Explanation:

As Frida was exercising, her muscle cells were undergoing a frantic pace of metabolism (contraction and relaxation), where oxygen supply did not supply the required effort, thus causing muscle fatigue and heavy breathing.

Physical activity is synonymous with moving muscles. The more muscle fibers strive to accomplish a task, the more they consume the oxygen brought into the bloodstream. When this occurs, the body begins to breathe hard as lactate is transported to the liver.

This forces the lungs to work at a fast pace, as they are responsible for oxygenation. The heart also speeds up because it needs to pump blood more vigorously. This is why during exercise the heart rate and breathing rate increase and we breathe heavily.
