Persons with 'AB' blood group are called as "Universal recipients". This is due to:
1. Presence of antibodies, anti-A, and anti-B, on RBCs
2. Absence of antibodies, anti-A, and anti-B, in plasma
3. Absence of antigens A and B on the surface of RBCs
4. Absence of antigens A and B in plasma

What is true regarding blood transfusion and compatibility?
1. A-negative blood can probably be safely donated to a person with A-positive blood.
2. Antibodies against the Rh antigen do not develop unless an Rh-positive person is exposed to Rh-negative blood.
3. The largest percentage of people in India are Rh-negative.
4. Rh-negative mothers cannot have an Rh-positive baby.
RhoGAM injection [one brand of Rh immunoglobulin] is given to Rh-negative mothers to:

2. initiate anti-Rh antibody production in the fetus.
3. prevent the mother from producing anti-Rh antibodies.
4. prevent the fetus from producing anti-Rh antibodies.
