A woman with Rhesus negative blood group was advised not to marry a man with Rhesus positive blood group because
- it will hinder her from having blood transfusion from her husband
-
it will result in sickness and probably death of the offspring
- her children may all resemble her husband
- it may affect her childbearing ability
The correct answer is: B
Explanation
Rh factor is a protein found in blood. A person with Rh factor in blood is called Rh positive whereas one who does not carry this protein in the blood is called Rh negative. Marriage should be avoided between Rh-negative females & Rh-positive males. This can be fatal for the mother as well as the baby of such parents. (second pregnancy may result in erythroblastosis fetalis if necessary precautions are not taken).
