Select all the statements below that are true regarding hemolytic disease of the newborn. If a mother is Rh- and becomes sensitized with anti-Rh antibodies, all subsequent children will be affected Hemolytic disease of the newborn can only occur if the mother is Rh-. If an Rh- mother becomes sensitized, only her subsequent children with Rh+ blood will be affected If a mother is Rh- and her first child is Rh+, the child's RBCS will be attacked by the mother's antibodies.

Why is it that Rh incompatibility can be a serious problem when anRh-negative mother is carrying an Rh-positive fetus, but ABOincompatibility between mother and fetus is usually no problem?That is, a type A mother can usually safely carry a type B fetus.(Hint: The antibodies produced by an Rh-negative mother againstthe Rh antigen are usually IgG, whereas the antibodies producedagainst the A or B antigens are IgM.) Because the Rh antigenobviously serves no vital function (most humans lack it), why do youthink it hasn’t been completely eliminated during human evolution?
Rh antibodies are: IgM IgG IgE IgA IgD

How is Rh incompatibility involved in hemolytic disease of the newborn? Is the mother Rh+ or Rh-? Is the fetus Rh+ or Rh-? Why is a second child that is Rh+ more susceptible to attack from the mother’s immune system.
