No, they cannot. A person with O+ blood has a special antigen, or protein, on its extracellular membrane. The person with O- blood will form antibodies to the antigen and attack the O+ red blood cells killing them, this will eventually cause anemia and become a health problem.

There are several antibodies on a blood cell. If an A person receive blood from a b person, it would cause the blood to clump up, and clot, thus killing the person. O type is called a Universal Donor. It has no anti-bodies. Thus, no two anti-bodies react and cause clotting.

No; type O+ (O positive) can donate to any blood type that is positive but not to those that are negative. Type O- (O negative) is the universal donor. Type AB can receive A, B, or O blood.
