Tissue Typing Uses Information

Question

Tissue typing uses information
A) stored in the nucleus
B) found on the plasma membrane
C) found on the rough endoplasmic reticulum
D) found in the Golgi apparatus

Accepted Answer

Tissue typing is a technique used to determine the compatibility of tissues or organs for transplantation. It uses information found on the plasma membrane, specifically the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules, which are unique to each individual and can cause rejection if not matched properly. The nucleus, rough endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus are not directly involved in tissue typing.
