Mary is pregnant with her second child. Mary is Rh negative. During the pregnancy the fetus develops erythroblastosis fetalis where the red blood cells (RBC) are destroyed by the mother's antibodies to the Rh factor. Both babies have the same father. Is he Rh+, Rh−, or neither? Explain your answer |
Rh−: b/c when the mother and father both have the same Rh factors they can not coexist with each other and that causes problems |
Rh+: baby gets from mother's body; reject the Rh+ because she is Rh− |
|
Rh−: because the baby is Rh− and mother is trouble producing Rh− RBC |
Rh+: b/c he caused the baby to have Rh+ blood |
|
Rh+: b/c it is the same father and the mother is Rh− |
Rh+: because during the (first) baby, the body started producing antibodies but not long enough to destroy the baby |
|
Rh+: the gene carried by the male |
Rh+: b/c mother is Rh− and baby is Rh+ |
|
The father is Rh− b/c Mary was positive so they change that the baby had came from the father |
Rh+: b/c she is Rh− |
|
Rh−: b/c the baby is Rh+; does not have · · · |
Rh+: because of dominance |
|
The father is Rh+ but more dominant |
No change |
|
Rh+: not exactly sure why |
No change |
|
Neither, he doesn't affect the child |
No change |
|
Rh+: gene needed to be placed in mother in order for erythroblastosis to occur in child |
No change |
|
Rh+: if the second baby's DNA was rejected so to speak it means that the father's genes were dominant in the baby and he is Rh+ |
No change |
