It is not an FDA-approved test for quality control of platelets? Gram Stain
Prestorage pooled platelets can be stored for: 5 days
What is most common cause of bacterial contamination of platelet products? Entry of skin plugs into the collection bag
What best describes mitosis? Genetic material is duplicated, equally divided between two daughter cells
When a recessive trait is expressed, it means that: Two genes carrying the trait were present.
In a pedigree, the "index case" is another name for: Propositus
What are the four nitrogenous bases of DNA? Adenine Cytosine Guanine Thymine
What phenotype(s) could not result from the mating of a Jk(a+b+) female and a Jk(a-b+) male? Jk(a-b-)
Exon refers to: The coding region of a gene.
PCR technology can be used to: Amplify small amounts of DNA
Transcription can be defined as: Synthesis of RNA using DNA as template.
When a male possesses a phenotypic trait that he passes to all his daughters and none of his sons, the trait is said to be: X-linked dominant
When a female possesses a phenotypic trait that she passes to all of her sons and none of her daughters, the trait is said to be: X-linked recessive
DNA is replicated to: Semiconservatively from DNA
RNA is processed: after RNA is copied from protein on ribosomes
Translation of proteins from RNA takes place: On the ribosomes in the cytoplasm of the cell
Meiosis is necessary to: Generate new DNA sequences in daughter cells
Proteins and peptides are composed of: Linear arrangements of amino acids
Patient cells with Anti-A 4+ Anti-B 4+ A1 cells NEGATIVE B cells NEGATIVE What is the patient's blood type? AB
The major immunoglobulin class of anti-B in a group A individual is: IgM
What are the possible ABO phenotypes of the offspring from the mating of a group A to group B individual? O,A,B
What ABH substance(s) would be found in the saliva of group B secretor? H and A
What ABO blood group contains the least amount of H substance? A1B
An example of a technical error that can result in an ABO discrepancy is: Cell suspension is too heavy
What best describes Lewis antibodies? IgM, naturally occuring, do not cause HDFN
The Le gene codes for a specific glycosyltransferase that transfers a fucose to the N-acetylglucosamine on: Type 1 precursor chain
What substances would be found in the saliva of a group B secretor who also has Lele genes? H,B,LeB
Transformation to Lewis B phenotype after birth may be as follows: Le(a-b-) to Le(a+b-) to Le(a+b+) to Le(a-b+)
In what way do the Lewis antigens change during pregnancy? Lewis A and B decreases
A type 1 chain has: The terminal galactose in a 1-3 linkage to subterminal N-acetylglucosamine
What best describes Lewis antigens? The antigens are integral membrane proteins.
What genotype would explain RBCs typed as group A Le (a+b-)? A/A LeLe hh sese

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
