Question 1
1.

Insert one image of the front side of your ERHT Treatment Document to this question.

Make sure all questions are answered, and all data tables are filled in (for ALL family members).

Use the blue "+" sign to insert the image, and resize the image as needed to make sure it is large enough to be readable!

Question 2
2.

Insert one image of the back side of your ERHT Treatment Document to this question.

Make sure your pedigree is complete, with all names, blood types, and genotypes filled in (and readable).

Use the blue "+" sign to insert the image, and resize the image as needed to make sure it is large enough to be readable!

Question 6
6.
Some researchers are currently exploring the possibility of generating artificial blood in a lab. One method being explored is to take adult blood stem cells and cause them to differentiate (specialize) into red blood cells. If enough of these stem cells are maintained and scaled up, this could potentially lead to a new source of blood for transfusions, without needing to wait for donors each time!

If a researcher were interested in trying to create these lab-generated blood samples, it would be best if they focused on creating __________ blood. This would be the best choice due to the __________ of __________ on the red blood cells in this blood type. This means that the __________ in the recipient's body will not react to the transfused blood.
Question 7
7.

Identify which possible genotype(s) each indicated person could have, by dragging and dropping genotypes to each person.

Answers can be used more than once or not at all, and people may have multiple possible genotypes!

Question 8
8.
Choose "yes" or "no" for each question below.

If this scenario had happened a bit differently, such that Sue was in need of a transfusion but John was healthy and uninjured, would it have been possible for John to donate blood to Sue? __________

If the opposite occurred, such that John was in need of a transfusion but Sue was healthy and uninjured, would it have been possible for Sue to donate blood to John? __________

Based on John and Sue's known medical information, would it be possible for them to ever have a child together that has Type O blood? __________
Question 9

Review the image below. Then, drag and drop the correct blood type for each drawing.

Some answer choices may not be used, while others may be used more than once.
Other Answer Choices:
Type B -
Type A +
Type AB +
Type O -
Type O +
Type AB -
Type B +
Type A -
Question 10
10.

The blood type AB+ is sometimes referred to as the "universal recipient". Why is this?

Your answer must:
  • be 1-2 full sentences long (no more or less)
  • include "antigens" and "antibodies" in your specific explanation of WHY

One of the people who cannot donate to John is Jen.

Which of the following option(s) lists reasons WHY Jen is not able to donate to John?
The Anti-Rh antibodies found in John's blood would recognize Jen's red blood cells as "foreign" and react.
John's immune system would react to Jen's blood due to the presence of "foreign" antigens in it. This immune system response could be life-threatening.
John is only able to receive blood that is the same as his own blood type. Since Jen's blood is not the same type as John's, he cannot receive her blood as a transfusion.
Jen's immune system would likely respond negatively towards the Rh antigens present on John's red blood cells.
A person cannot receive a transfusion from someone with the same blood type as them.
John's blood contains antibodies that recognize B antigens, which are found on Jen's red blood cells.
John is only able to receive Type O- blood, which Jen does not have.
