Question

question 7 (1 point) saras erythrocytes contain type a agglutinogens on their cell membrane. can she safely donate erythrocytes to jose who has type o + blood? and why? no, because joses plasma contains antibodies to only type b blood. yes, because joses erythrocytes lack type b agglutinogens. yes, because saras plasma contains type o antibodies. no, because joses plasma contains antibodies to type a blood.

Explanation:

Blood - type compatibility is crucial in transfusions. Type A blood has A - agglutinogens. Type O blood has antibodies against both A and B - agglutinogens in its plasma. If type A blood is given to a type O recipient, the recipient's anti - A antibodies will react with the A - agglutinogens in the donated blood, causing agglutination.

Answer:

No, because Jose's plasma contains antibodies to Type A blood.
