Does mammalian blood contain any DNA?
White blood cells carry genetic information. In mammals mature red blood cells do not have DNA because they do not have nuclei. They expel them during the maturation process. However, in birds and reptiles they have nucleated red blood cells. Thus reptile and bird red blood cells do contain DNA.
What cells would I use to extract DNA from a living person?
Any cells can be used as you will find DNA in almost all of them (a few exceptions are red blood cells, platelets, etc.) but even where one specific cell in a tissue has no DNA many adjacent cells in the sample will have DNA.
Sources of DNA that could be used in DNA forensic analysis?
DNA comes from the nuclei of cells. Any tissue or specimen containing cells or cellular material is likely to contain DNA.
How do blood types interact with each other?
AB positive blood type is known as the universal recipient which means that persons with AB positive blood can recieve transfusions from any blood type, positive or negative. Generally, transfusions of the same blood type or of blood type O can be given. Persons with blood types that are RH positive can be given transfusions of either the positive OR negative subtype, but persons with RH negative blood types can only receive transfusions from other RH negative blood types.

There are certain blood types that are more rare. Any of the blood types would perform the same function in the body. The rare blood types are needed for transfusions.

Are all transfusions types the same?
No. Transfusions are categorized into different blood types. ABO blood types are the largest group. A person can have A, B, AB, or O type. The O is considered the universal donor and the AB is the universal recipient. That means that O is the preferred blood type of a person that is donating blood because it can be transfused into any other blood type. The AB is the preferred recipient because they can receive any of the blood types and not reject the agglutinogens, which are the proteins on the outside of red blood cells.
