2. | It always poses a serious risk to the fetus, even in the first pregnancy. |
3. | Only in rare cases is there a risk to the fetus during the first pregnancy. |
4. | There is no risk to the fetus when a woman who is Rh+ carries an Rh- fetus. |
What is true for the blood Type O?

3. | It is universal recipient because it has neither anti-A antibodies nor anti-B antibodies circulating in the plasma. |
4. | It is universal recipient because it has neither antigen A nor antigen B on its RBCs. |
