The RBC surface normally shows glycoprotein molecules.when determining blood group do they play any role
Answers
Answer:
A person's DNA determines the type of enzymes they have, and, therefore, the type of sugar antigens that end up on their red blood cells. In contrast, the antigens of the Rh blood group are proteins. A person's DNA holds the information for producing the protein antigens.
Explanation:
Answer:
The glycoproteins( carbohydrate+ protein) present on the surface of RBC molecules serve as markers or surface antigens and help in determining the blood group of an individual. The ABO blood grouping is actually based on the presence of these glycoproteins.
For example, individuals having only a particular type of glycoprotein( Type A) on RBCs have A blood group, for B group individuals it is the presence of only the B antigen, for AB group individuals presence of both the antigens is seen and in case of O group, no antigen is present.
