But what happens in the reverse? Is there no problem because the antibodies from the mother don't view the baby as a threat; so, there is no need for a treatment like RhoGam for later pregnancies? I sent this question to the professor, but maybe I should have asked Bartleby. Sherri B. Greenarrow_forwardAn elderly couple was killed in an accident. No surviving relatives are known, so their estate have been willed to chasrity. Later, a man claims that he is their child. Although friends of the couple knew that they had a son, no record of this can be found. Medical records show that the dead man was A Rh’, his wife was B Rh- and the claimant’s blood tests as O Rh’. Does it appear that his claim is valid? Justify your conclusion. A student in genetics is B’. She reports that her father is B- and her mother is O’. Give this student’s genotype for the ABO and Rh blood types.arrow_forward
