Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that the forbidden fruit in the Book of Genesis is identified as an apple?

No. Reference sources state the fruit in Genesis is never actually identified as an apple; the apple is only one of many later associations, and the text calls it simply the fruit of the tree of knowledge.
