What else can I help you with?
Do babies get their mothers DNA through blood transfer?
Yes
Can your blood type change because you had a blood transfusion?
No. You might be thinking of a treatment for sickle-cell anemia, in which a sibling's bone marrow cells are transplanted into a sickle-cell person, and the donor cells take up permanent residence in the recipient's body. But this is a very different thing. A person's DNA is complete in each and every cell of their body. Nothing changes a person's DNA. Ever. Not possible.
When someone gets a blood transfusion don't they have the donor's DNA in their bloodstream for awhile?
Red blood cells lack a nucleus so they don't have chromosones, however they do have mitochondrial DNA from the donor. http://www.answers.com/topic/erythrocyte
Biology word starting with prefix trans?
Transfer - to convey or remove from one place, person, etc., to another. Transfusion - the direct transferring of blood, plasma, or the like into a blood vessel. Transmission - the act or process of transmitting.
Is there any DNA present in the blood of blood transfusions?
In whole blood transfusions... yes, but only a small amount. Red blood cells have no nuclei and therefore only mitochondrial DNA; white cells have nuclei but are present in much smaller numbers.
If the father is o and mother is o- can they have a b child?
it is rare, but yes. however, blood poisoning is possible and the child could have to have a full blood transfusion if the mother doesn't take pills that the doctor prescribes for the mother if they realize that something is wrong. no, your blood type is in your DNA, and that comes from both parents only, each child gets 50% DNA from each parent.
Do blood types have to be matched before blood can be transfused?
Yes, blood must be transfused into a body with the same blood type. If blood is transfused into a body with a differing blood type , the body may become ill and fight to kill the differing DNA.
What is used for copying DNA for DNA fingerprinting?
Nuclear transfer
If someone donates blood will the recipient acquired the genes of the donor?
No, because blood cells don't multiply. They are produced in the bone marrow, and the DNA doesn't change in the Bone Marrow just because of different blood entering the system. Eventually, the transferred blood cells will die and be excreted from the sysytem, taking their genes with them without leaving any lasting changes on the person's own DNA. Having a blood transfusion will not change your eye colour, height, weight or anything like that, obviously.
What is the importance of DNA transcription?
the importance of DNA transcrition is it will help DNA transfer where it needs.
What ways can blood be used as forensic evidence?
from my knowledge, it can be used in DNA testing in order to identify a suspect, it can be used to trace a person using this DNA, and can provide hard edvidence showing that someone was at the place of the blood, unless someone just had their transfusion lol, it can be used to do some other stuff but those are the main bits, in my opinion.
I want to have a DNA test done for my son and I and I want it to be done with a blood test not a swab. ?
You can have a blood test done, but believe it or not the technology is gearing more towards the swab and the swab is as accurate. One of the reasons is the fact that sometimes people might have a blood transfusion or bone marrow transplant which can jeorpadize the test result.
