- Why might erythroblastosis fetalis occur when an Rh- mother becomes pregnant with a second Rh+ baby (after exposure to the previous Rh+ baby's blood)? A) Erythroblastosis fetalis can only occur when an Rh+ mother becomes pregnant with an Rh- baby. B) After primary exposure, if the Rh- mother has an Rh+ baby, then antibodies the mom produces can cross the placenta and attack the baby's blood. C) The Rh- mother always produces antibodies to the Rh+ blood, so erythroblastosis fetalis is a condition that can happen to any Rh+ baby (first or subsequent).arrow_forwardNeutrophils are best described as: (a) Phagocytic, have bilobed nucleus and are small (2-5 microns) (b) Respond to chemokines and are primary defense against bacteria (c) Long-lived phagocytic cells. why?arrow_forwardWhat is y-interferon?arrow_forward
