In 1940,two researchers named Weiner and Landsteiner discovered that about 85 percent of the human population sampled possessed a blood cell protein called the Rh factor.The presence of Rh factor was labeled Rh positive (Rh⁺)and was found to be dominant over the absence of the blood factor (Rh^-).Under normal Mendelian inheritance,which of the following statements is/are FALSE? A)Two Rh⁺ parents could have an Rh^- child. B)Two Rh^- parents could have an Rh⁺ child. C)An Rh^- child would require that both parents be carriers of at least one Rh^- allele. D)It is possible with just one pair of parents to have children where some siblings are Rh^- and some are Rh⁺. E)Two Rh⁺ parents can have Rh^- or Rh⁺ children.
