Question
Chapter 16.L1, Problem 3WC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The inheritance of Rh+ blood from an Rh− mother to her baby.
Introduction:
It has been experimentally verified fact that Rh-is a dominant trait. A pair of alleles Rh/r is responsible for the inheritance of Rh-antigen. It is to be remembered that in human blood natural Rh-antibody is not present, it is acquired. Rh-factors influence a developing fetus massively.

A) Erythroblastosis fetalis can only occur when an Rh+ mother becomes pregnant with an Rh- baby. B) After primary exposure, if the Rh- mother has an Rh+ baby, then antibodies the mom produces can cross the placenta and attack the baby's blood. C) The Rh- mother always produces antibodies to the Rh+ blood, so erythroblastosis fetalis is a condition that can happen to any Rh+ baby (first or subsequent).arrow_forwardIf a woman is RH negative and she has a RH positive baby, will this harm the baby?arrow_forward
