4. Question
Q4. {Sci – Bio} Which of the following best describes the role of antigens in the blood group system?
Correct
Explanation
Option (b) is correct
Antigens are molecules capable of stimulating an immune response.
Each antigen has distinct surface features, resulting in specific responses.
They are composed of proteins, peptides,andpolysaccharides.
It induces the immune system to produce antibodies against it.
Antigen makeup is the key factor in determining blood type. They reside on the surface of the red bloodcells, serving as built-in protection devices for your blood supply.
These substances are designed to identify foreign cells and trigger immune responses that produce antibodies in the plasma to attack potential invaders. The presence or absence of antigens on the red blood cells and corresponding antibodies in your plasma defines the blood group.
Answer: (b) Antigens reside on the surface of red blood cells and help identify foreign cells, triggering immune responses; Difficulty Level: Medium
