My fiance and I are planning to get married two years from now. She has an O- blood type and I have a B+ blood type. Can any complications arise if we conceive a child as a result of our blood types? If so, what are they and is there a solution?

Rh incompatibility exists when an Rh- mother conceives an Rh+ child (wherein the child receives the D antigen or Rh protein from the father). Generally this will still not pose a problem during gestation since blood from the baby does not usually enter the mother's bloodstream.

If, however, blood cells do cross over from the baby to the mother during pregnancy, labour or delivery, the mother's immune system will recognise it as foreign and mount an immunological response against it by producing anti-D antibodies which can cross the placenta and affect the baby.

There are several remedies available to prevent or to mitigate.the risks of Rh incompatibility.

  1. Since one of the effects is destruction of the baby's blood cells, post delivery blood transfusions and phototherapy (to counter the effects of the jaundice that results when the liver cannot handle the high rate of haemolysis) is an option.

  2. An injection of Rh immunoglobulins to 'immunise' the mother is another option.

Why doesn't the blood clot in the blood vessels? Blood contains platelet cells which help in clotting of blood when there is any cut on our body. Why doesn't it clot when blood is present inside the blood vessel in a normal healthy body?

Heparin is an anticoagulant which does not allow the blood to clot in the blood vessels

In my science class, my instructor said you can tell what your blood type is just by looking at your blood. What characteristics will the blood have to tell you what your blood type is for each type?

Blood typing (in general) involves the use of three different antibodies for three different antigens. These three antibodies are Anti-A, Anti-B and Anti-D and are usually coloured differently to avoid...

My Dad was blood type O Rh+ and my mom is blood type B. Is there a way I can tell what I am or might be without getting my blood tested?

Genetically your father will be O-O (total absence of alleles/gene sequences for A or B). Genetically your mother could be either B-B or B-O (possessing two or one allele/gene sequence...

Half-life of carbon-14 is 5730 years. A piece of wood that contained 0.200g of Carbon-14 when it was alive now contains 0.0125g of Carbon-14. How old is the piece of wood? 5730 years old 11460 years old 17190 years old 22920 years old?

$(1/2)^(t/5730)(I)=A$ I = initial amount, A = current amount, t = years I=0.200g, A= 0.0125g, solve for t $(1/2)^(t/5730)(0.200)=0.0125$ $(1/2)^(t/5730)=0.625$ $log_(1/2)((1/2)^(t/5730))=log_(1/2)0.0625$ $t/5730=4$ $t=22920$

Rebecca has samples of different types of metal. She wants to measure the samples to find out the density of each metal. First, she measures the samples' volumes. Now she needs masses. What tools should Rebecca use to measure her samples' masses?

$"Density,"$ $rho="Mass"/"Volume"$, and thus it has the units of $g*mL$ or $g*cm^-3$.
