Donor X and recipient Y belong to same blood group. Transfusion has led to RBC agglutination because

  1. X is $Rh^+$, Y is $Rh^-$
  2. X is $Rh^-$, Y is $Rh^+$
  3. Both are $Rh^+$
  4. Both are $Rh^-$.

A Correct answer
Explanation

Agglutination occurs when the recipient has antibodies against the donor's antigens. An Rh-negative recipient (Y) can develop anti-Rh antibodies if exposed to Rh-positive blood from the donor (X).

$Rh^-$ mother carries $Rh^+$ foetus. The foetus is at risk of disease called

  1. Haemophilia

  2. Haemolytic disease

  3. Tuberculosis

  4. Syphilis.

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

When an Rh-negative mother is exposed to Rh-positive fetal blood, she produces antibodies that can cross the placenta and destroy fetal red blood cells, a condition known as haemolytic disease of the newborn.

Blood group B means the person

  1. Can form antibody for B

  2. Cannot form antibody for B

  3. Can receive blood of AB group

  4. Cannot receive blood group O.

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Individuals with blood group B have B antigens on their red blood cells; therefore, they do not produce anti-B antibodies, as doing so would cause their own blood to agglutinate.

Problem related to Rh factor arias when $Rh^+$ and $Rh^-$ bloods mix up

  1. In test tube

  2. Through transfusion

  3. Through pregnancy

  4. Both A and C.

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Rh incompatibility causes clinical problems primarily through two routes: blood transfusion (Rh- recipient receives Rh+ blood) and pregnancy (Rh- mother carrying Rh+ fetus). Of the options given, transfusion is directly stated as correct. While pregnancy also causes Rh problems, the question specifically asks about 'bloods mix up', which most directly refers to transfusion.

In which of the following situations, there is risk of erythroblastosis foetalis

  1. Mother $Rh^+$, father $Rh^+$
  2. Mother $Rh^-$, father $Rh^-$
  3. Mother $Rh^-$, father $Rh^+$
  4. Mother $Rh^+$, father $Rh^-$.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Erythroblastosis foetalis occurs when an Rh-negative mother carries an Rh-positive fetus, leading to maternal antibody production against fetal red blood cells.

Blood corpuscles containing both A and B antigens are mixed with another blood serum. The blood corpuscles agglutinated. Blood serum belongs to blood group

  1. A

  2. B

  3. AB

  4. O.

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

If blood corpuscles with both A and B antigens (AB group) are agglutinated by a serum, that serum must contain both anti-A and anti-B antibodies, which is characteristic of blood group O.
