In humans, the dominant gene "D" codes for the Rh protein on the surfaces of red
blood cells. The recessive allele "d" does not encode a cell surface protein. If cells
from an individual who is "DD" or "Dd" (Rh+) enter the bloodstream of an individual
who is "dd" (Rh-), these Rh factors will be recognized as foreign in the bloodstream
and the humoral immune response will be activated. Rhincompatibility occurs in
women who have Rh negative blood and a baby who has Rh positive red blood cells.
Generally, this is risky for the baby because the mother can causes hemolytic anemia
(destruction of red blood cells) in the baby because her body sees the babies Rh factor
as an antigen. Describe how the mother's immune system causes hemolytic anemia in
the baby (be sure to include in your explanation the role of the antigen, the B cell and
the antibody)
