Any blood transfusion is ideally safe if it:
Correct answer: A. Does not cause agglutination in the recipient
- A. Does not cause agglutination in the recipient
- B. Causes agglutination in the recipient
- C. Does not cause agglutination in the donor
- D. Causes agglutination in the donor
Explanation
The correct answer is that a safe blood transfusion does not cause agglutination in the recipient. This means that the donor's blood is either compatible with the recipient's blood type or it is O type blood, which lacks antibodies and is suitable for all recipients. Agglutination in the recipient can lead to serious health issues due to the clumping of blood cells, blocking capillaries. The other options are incorrect as they either describe agglutination in the recipient, which is unsafe, or refer to agglutination in the donor, which is not relevant to the safety of the transfusion.

About Inheritance
Mendel's laws explain segregation, independent assortment and the prediction of genetic ratios using alleles, genotypes and phenotypes. The chapter also covers linked genes, recombination and crossing over during meiosis, then applies pedigree reasoning to X-linked recessive traits, which show different inheritance patterns in males and females.
