If incompatible blood is transfused, the RBCs of the:
Correct answer: B. Either recipient's or donor's RBCs or both are destroyed
- A. The recipient's RBCs are destroyed
- B. Either recipient's or donor's RBCs or both are destroyed
- C. The donor's RBCs are destroyed
- D. No RBCs are destroyed
Explanation
Incompatible blood transfusions occur when the blood type of the donor and recipient do not match properly, leading to an immune response. The presence of antibodies in either the donor's blood or the recipient's blood can cause the destruction of RBCs. This can happen to either the donor's RBCs, the recipient's RBCs, or both. Option B is the correct answer because it accounts for all scenarios where RBCs may be destroyed due to incompatibility. Options A and C consider only one side of the transfusion, missing the possible reaction on the other side. Option D is incorrect because it ignores the immune response triggered by incompatible transfusions.

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.
