Blood typing problems

What is the probability of a child having type O blood if one parent is type A and the other is type B, both heterozygous?

• 0%

• 25%

• 50%

• 75%

What are the four main blood types in the ABO blood group system?

• A, B, AB, O

• A, B, C, D

• A, O, AB, XY

• B, AB, O, X

What is the role of antibodies in blood typing?

• Antibodies help identify blood types by reacting with specific antigens.

• Antibodies are responsible for producing red blood cells.

• Antibodies transport oxygen in the blood.

• Antibodies help in the clotting process.

What determines a person's blood type?

• The presence or absence of antigens on the surface of red blood cells.

• The number of red blood cells in the bloodstream.

• The size of the heart and its pumping capacity.

• The amount of oxygen in the blood.

If a person has type A blood, what antigens are present on their red blood cells?

• A antigens

• B antigens

• AB antigens

• O antigens

What is the universal recipient blood type?

• Type A

• Type B

• Type AB

• Type O

Can a person with type AB blood donate to a person with type A blood?

• Yes, because type AB blood is universal and can donate to anyone.

• No, because type AB blood has B antigens that would trigger an immune response in type A recipients.

• Yes, as long as the recipient is not type O.

• No, because type A blood can only receive from type O and type A donors.

If a person has type B blood, what antibodies are present in their plasma?

• Anti-A antibodies.

• Anti-B antibodies.

• Anti-AB antibodies.

• No antibodies present.

What happens during a blood transfusion if the donor's blood type is not compatible with the recipient's?

• The recipient's immune system may attack the donor's red blood cells, leading to a transfusion reaction.

• The donor's blood will be accepted without any issues.

• The recipient will experience an increase in energy levels.

• The transfusion will have no effect on the recipient.

What is the significance of Rh factor in blood typing?

• It determines whether blood is positive or negative (e.g., A+, A-).

• It indicates the blood type's compatibility with organ transplants.

• It determines the blood's ability to clot effectively.

• It identifies the presence of antibodies in the blood.
