The AB blood type is known as the universal recipient. Therefore, the groups that a person with this blood type can give blood to are limited.
If your blood is AB+, then you can only give to others with AB+ blood.
If your blood is AB-, then you can give to people with both AB+ or AB- blood.
Group A blood types have A antibodies attached to their blood cells. Group B blood types have B antibodies attached to their blood cells. If you give a group A blood type a transfusion with type B blood, their body will attack the type B blood cells after sensing foreign antibodies. Since Group O does not have any antibodies attached to the blood cells, you can give it to type A. Type A will not detect foreign antibodies since group O has no antibodies, and therefore, the body will accept the type O blood. All Medical Answers need confirmation and re-confirmation.
A person with blood type AB cannot give blood to anyone but can receive blood from anyone
Because not every one has the same blood type and you need to know what blood type your giving to the recipiant of the blood because if you give some one the wrong blood type you can kill them.
It does react. Thats why you cant give A or AB type blood to a 0 type patient. The anti-A in the plasma will react with the A antigen on the red blood cells of the donor.
There is only one possible blood genotype that gives group O. The person must be homozygous for type O.
Group A blood types have A antibodies attached to their blood cells. Group B blood types have B antibodies attached to their blood cells.

The child could either be blood type A or blood type B.
If your blood type is O negative than you could give it to any person with any blood type.
to blood group B and AB.
Absolutely. A child will either have its mother's blood type or its father's blood type. If the mother's blood type is NOT O, then someone else is the father.
If the father is homozygous for the B blood group, giving him the BB blood genotype, and the mother's genotype is AB (the only genotype for the AB blood group), then their offspring could have either the AB or B blood groups. If the father is heterozygous for the B blood group, giving him the BO genotype, then their offspring could have the AB, A, or B blood groups. However, they could not produce an offspring with the O blood group.
Yes
there are no blood type as ABO there are practically 4 types of blood groups i.e. A, B, AB and O O blood group can donate blood to all other groups A can give to A and AB B can give to B and AB AB blood group can only give blood to AB only but can receive blood from all other groups
A person with blood type AB cannot give blood to anyone but can receive blood from anyone
yes probably. you dont have to have the same blood group as your siblings and even your parents, you could have the same blood group of any of your grandparents.
Because not every one has the same blood type and you need to know what blood type your giving to the recipiant of the blood because if you give some one the wrong blood type you can kill them.
There are two possibilities.... either group 'O' - or group 'B'. Also, each group can be rhesus positive or negative - making a total of four combinations.
