In 1871, Francis Galton reported experiments in which, in each of multiple generations, he transfused blood from a true-breeding strain of black rabbits into individuals of a true-breeding strain of white rabbits. Nevertheless, he reported, in each generation the kits (babies) of the white rabbits were as white as their parents. In regard to heredity, this experiment demonstrates that:
A)characteristics of blood are not hereditary.
B)red blood cells (erythrocytes)have no nucleus.
C)blood transfusions do not affect hereditary characteristics.
D)the recipient's coat color is not affected by blood transfusions.
