Summary Introduction
To describe: The erythroblastosis fetalis. Reason for the absence of such condition in case of ABO incompatibility.
Introduction: The blood is a fluid connective tissue composed of formed elements and plasma. The blood is classified into different blood groups based on the type of antigen and antibody found in the blood cell surface and plasma.

Why is the first pregnancy is USUALLY not a problem but each subsequent pregnancy is - remember antibody types produced. If this is the patient's first known pregnancy, how could this baby still be at potential risk should mom have the blood type that is of concern in the first place?

An individual containing two X chromosomes is a female, while an individual possessing an X and Y chromosome is a male. he sex chromosomes bear alleles for traits. Sex linkage applies to genes that are located on the sex chromosomes. These genes are considered sex-linked because their expression and inheritance patterns differ between males and females. The genes present on the X chromosome are said to be X linked. Many more genes are present on the X chromosome than found on the Y chromosome. Nonetheless, those genes found on the Y chromosome are said to be Y linked. The Y chromosome is smaller than its homologue, the X chromosome. Consequently, most of the loci present on the X chromosome are absent on the Y chromosome. 1. In humans, hemophilia is a sex linked trait. Females can be normal, carriers, or have the disease. Males will have the disease or not (but they won't be ever carriers) XH…arrow_forward
