Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
A person with type A blood also has circulating antibodies to the B carbohydrate antigen. If this person receives blood from a type AB or B individual, a severe transfusion reaction occurs, and the transfused erythrocytes are destroyed by agglutination or complement-mediated lysis. Type A can receive type A blood. Type B and type AB can receive type O.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Attenuated vaccines are alive, but less infectious. Attenuated vaccines are not mutated or highly infectious. Inactive infers the virus is killed.
