Jamessa is performing a blood typing experiment in her anatomy and physiology lab. She takes a few drops of her own blood sample and mixes it with different antibodies. Her blood agglutinates when mixed with the anti-B antibodies, but it does not
agglutinate with the anti-A or anti-Rh antibodies. Determine her blood type and explain how you came to this conclusion.
What will be an ideal response?
Jamessa carries the B antigen since her blood reacted and agglutinated with the anti-B antibodies. She lacks the A antigen and the Rh antigen since her blood did not agglutinate with the anti-A or anti-Rh antibodies. Thus, her blood type is B?.
