The right answer is A patient who is Rh– can receive only Rh– blood.

The blood group is not the only thing that matters, it adds a category: rhesus. Rhesus refers to a red blood cell antigen that is on their wall. There are two blood group systems: Rh positive (Rh +) and Rh negative (Rh-).

Rhesus is positive in people who have this antigen. It concerns the majority of the population. Negative rhesus refers to people without the antigen. This rhesus factor is especially useful to know if a blood transfusion is feasible between two people.

The blood transfusions can be "iso-rhesus", that is to say between Rh + and Rh- but only in one sense: Rh- can give to Rh + but Rh + can not give to Rh-. Again because of the presence of antibodies directed against the antigen in Rh- people.

Yes it is important to know a person's Rh factor, but you can give an Rh+ patient Rh- blood only once because after that their body will build a defense mechanism against it and the blood will be rejected the second time.

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

A key feature of animal body plans is that they can show multiple types of symmetry.For example,,a dog would represent bilateral symmetry,while a jellyfish and other cnidarians would represent <u><em>radial symmetry</em></u>.

Explanation:

In biology, symmetry can be described as the balanced distribution of the body shape of an organism.

Radial symmetry can be described as a symmetry which depends on a central axis. The symmetry of cnidarians depends on a central axis hence they have radial symmetry.

Bilateral symmetry can be described as a symmetry in which the two halves of the symmetry are mirror images of one another. For example, humans, dogs etc.

What effect does malnutrition during critical times of development in pregnancy have on the fetus?
Naya [18.7K]
The effect that malnutrition have on the fetus during critical development in pregnancy is that the impairment  of the development of an organ is irreversible. Maternal malnutrition can adversely affect the division and replication of cells in the embryo at this stage, impairing its development. The effects of malnutrition during critical periods of pregnancy are seen in defects of the nervous system of the embryo, poor dental health among other effects.
