Answer:

This is false as genes are transferred to a fetus from the reproductive cells(sperm, Egg cells)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because humans have 46 chromosomes, however this is comprised of the 23 chromosomes in each sperm and egg cells. This shows that genes are not transferred through the blood but by sperm and egg cells. Also genes and chromosomes are stored in the nucleus of cells, however red blood cells do not have a nucleus further showing that this is false.
