Question 8 1 Point The Douglas College Bookstore was broken into last night and a year's supply of sticky notes was stolen. On the way out, the thief apparently stepped on a tack and left bloodied footprints beside the elevator. Your friend, the forensic detective assigned to the case, told you over coffee that sampling and testing of this blood showed the blood type of the thief to be O-. Would agglutination be expected when the thief's blood is mixed with anti-B serum? A We don't have enough information to answer the question B Yes C No

At 1:00 a.m., someone breaks a window in the back of a store and robs the safe. On the way out, the thief is cut on a piece of broken glass. A forensic team collects and tests a sample of blood left behind by the thief. It is O-. The police bring in a suspect with a cut forearm who was arrested just three blocks from the store. The person resembles someone seen leaving the store at the time of the robbery. A sample of the suspect's blood is taken and tested for blood type. Once the suspect's blood is mixed with anti-A serum, it is immediately clear that the suspect is not the person who was cut on the broken glass in the store. How did the test indicate that fact?
