To fill:
The correct term in the given blank.
Introduction:
Blood typing involves identifying the protein substances called antigens that are present on the outer surfaces of red blood cell membranes. Many different antigens are associated with the human red blood cells, and a few of them are of clinical importance. These include the antigens of the ABO group and those of the Rh group.

A) Erythroblastosis fetalis can only occur when an Rh+ mother becomes pregnant with an Rh- baby. B) After primary exposure, if the Rh- mother has an Rh+ baby, then antibodies the mom produces can cross the placenta and attack the baby's blood. C) The Rh- mother always produces antibodies to the Rh+ blood, so erythroblastosis fetalis is a condition that can happen to any Rh+ baby (first or subsequent).arrow_forward
