Please select all of the correct statements about hemolytic disease of the newborn.

Another name for hemolytic disease of the newborn is erythroblastosis fetalis.
Hemolytic disease of the newborn may result if an Rh– mother is carrying an Rh+ fetus.
Hemolytic disease of the newborn can be prevented by giving the newborn passive immunization with RhoGAM.
There is not a risk of hemolytic disease of the newborn if both parents are Rh–.
Hemolytic disease of the newborn is more likely to develop due to Rh incompatibility than to ABO incompatibility because anti-Rh antibodies are usually in the IgM class.

All options are corrcorrect.

Haemolyitc disorder of newborn is a blood problem in newborn babies.it occurs when babies red blood cells break down at a fast rate.so this disorder is also called as erythroblastosis foetalis.so first option is correct.

Haemolyitc disorder of newborn occurs when an rh negative mother has a baby with rh positive father and fetus having rh positive blood.Rh negative mother has been sensitised to Rh positive blood,her immune system make antibodies to attack her baby.so second option is correct.

Hemolytic disease of the newborn can be prevented by giving the newborn passive immunization with RhoGAM,rhogam it is used prevent the Rh immunization.by giving rhogam to mother it prevents immune system making antibodies against rh positive blood.so it gives passive immunization to fetus.rhogam does not affect the fetus.so third option is correct.

There is no risk for haemolyitc disorder for newborn because if both parents are Rh negative the baby will have the negative blood,so both mother's blood and baby's blood are matched so sensitization will not occurs.so fourth option is correct.

Hemolytic disease of the newborn is more likely to develop due to Rh incompatibility than to ABO incompatibility because anti-Rh antibodies are usually in the IgM class.This option is correct,because ABO incompatibility does not cause haemolytic disorder because naturally occurring anti-A and anti-B antibodies are in the IgM class and do not cross the placenta.

so fifth option also correct.

Here all options are correct about heamolytic disease of newborn.

(a) Select all of the correct statements about reaction rates from the choices below. The lower the rate of a reaction the longer it takes to reach completion. Reaction rate constants increase with increasing temperature. Solid catalysts increase reaction rates as their surface areas increase. The rate of a reaction is the same as the rate constant of the reaction. The slowest step in a reaction is called the rate-determining step. Reaction rates increase with increasing temperature. The rate of...
