Explain Rh-incompatibility in humans.

Answers (1)

Rh grouping of blood is based on the presence and absence of the Rh factor in the blood. If it is present, blood is said to be Rh-positive, if not, it is said to be Rh-negative. If the Rh factor is present, then the blood group is said to be Rh-positive; otherwise, it is called Rh-negative.

Rh incompatibility or mismatching is observed between the Rh-negative blood of a pregnant mother with Rh +ve blood of the fetus. It is known as Erythroblastosis Foetalis. This could cause anaemia or even the death of the fetus. The mother can also be at equal risk.
