8. Three good friends, Oscar, Paul, and Rubio, are all in an auto accident together. Oscar is hurt and needs a blood transfusion. Paul and Rubio are not hurt and want to donate blood. Samples of their blood are sent to the Iab and tested with Anti-A serum and Anti-B serum. Oscar's blood reacts with the Anti-A serum and is determined to have Type A blood. Using this information, complete the following questions: (4 points) a. What are Oscar's possible blood genotypes? b. Paul's blood reacts with both Anti-A and Anti-B serums. His blood type is c, Rubio's blood reacts with neither Anti-A nor Anti-B serums. His blood type is d. Can the blood of one of Oscar's friends be used for a transfusion? YES NO (Circle One). If NO, explain why not. If YES, explain which friend and why:Explanation / Answer
a. IAIA or IAi
b. Paul's blood type is: AB
c. Rubio's blood type is: O.
Yes, Rubio's blood can be used for transfusion. Since Rubio's blood type is O, so his blood does not possess any blood antigen. So upon transfusion, Oscar's blood will not react with Rubio's transfused blood, and Oscar will hence not suffer from any transfusion reaction.
