A)
Jaundice
B)
Anemia
C)
Infections
D)
Blood clots
Ans:
C
Feedback:
The gamma globulins, antibodies of the immune system, protect against infectious diseases. Because alpha globulin transports bilirubin, a defect in this plasma protein might lead to jaundice; a defect of beta globulin, which transports iron, could be associated with anemia; and a defect of fibrinogen could result in blood clots.
