Does a person with type O blood have A or B antigens on the red blood cell?

No antigens.That is why they are the universal donors and anyone can receive their blood.

What are antigens determining blood type carried on?
Antigens, by definition, cause the body to produce antibodies which act against them. You inherit certain antigens which are on your red blood cells. Sometimes these antigens are absent from your RBC. If you are type B, you have B antigens. Type A has A antigens, AB has AB antigens and type O has no antigens. If you are type AB, you can receive AB blood from some one else.
How do co-dominant alleles work?
Co-dominant alleles are both expressed, because both are translated into RNA. One of the best examples of co-dominance is human A/B blood type. The thing that differentiates A and B blood types is the antigens found on the surface of the blood cells. A person with two alleles for A-type antigens will have only A-type antigens, and a person with two B-type alleles will have only B-type antigens. However, a person with one A-type allele and one B-type allele will have blood type AB. A third allele, O-type, has no antigens on the surface of blood cells, and so is only "expressed" in the phenotype if a person has two O-type alleles (and therefore no antigens on their blood cells.)
What is the difference between type a blood cells and type b cell?
Type A and B red blood cells differ in the antigens they express on the cell surface. The still carry out the same tasks (transportation). The antigens on the surface of these cells are what is recognised by the immune system - so that it knows the cell is part of the body and not foreign.
How might a technique to remove A and B antigens from red blood cells be used to increase the supply of donated blood?
That would be extremely useful if it can be developed. There are four types of blood: AB, A, B, and O. They are classifed by the antigens that they have. Type O blood has no antigens but it does have anti-A and anti-B antibodies, so it can only accept type O blood (although since it has no antigens, it can give blood to anyone). Type A blood has A antigens and anti-B antibodies so it can't accept any blood with B antigens in it (such as type B or AB). Type B blood has anti-A antibodies and can't accept A or AB blood. Type AB has A antigens and B antigens so it can't donate to any other blood besides AB (although it can receive any type of blood). If everyone was type O blood, and didn't have any antigens, then every type of blood would be able to receive it because the antibodies wouldn't have any antigens to react with so it would be accepted by anyone.
Christine has type b blood and her father has type O blood whit is Christines genotype?
The genotype is either BB or BO. The antigens on the blood cell are B and the antibodies in the blood plasma are A.
Which blood type has 2 different antigens on the surface of the red blood cell?
Blood type AB has both A and B antigens.
A person with type A blood has?
Yes, type A blood has A antigens.
Does Type B blood have A antigens?
No, type B blood does not have A antigens. Type B blood has B antigens.
What antigens are expressed if a person is blood type AB negative?
My daughter is AB negative , I am B positive and her dad it A negative
What is type B blood?
Human blood contains antigens. Antigens can make one person allergic to the blood from another person. There are two main antigens, A and B. A person without either has type O blood. So a person can have type A blood, type B, or type O. Also a person can have a combination of A and B antigens and have type AB blood. In addition blood has an Rh factor, which can be positive or negative. So a person can be A positive or A negative, O positive or O negative, and so forth. B+ simply means a person has type B blood and is Rh positive.
What is b plus blood type?
Human blood contains antigens. Antigens can make one person allergic to the blood from another person. There are two main antigens, A and B. A person without either has type O blood. So a person can have type A blood, type B, or type O. Also a person can have a combination of A and B antigens and have type AB blood. In addition blood has an Rh factor, which can be positive or negative. So a person can be A positive or A negative, O positive or O negative, and so forth. B+ simply means a person has type B blood and is Rh positive.
How can a person have type AB blood?
they have AB blood because it has antigens

What kind of antibodies does type AB have?
Since that person has anti-B antibodies, then A antigens are present in her red blood cells. Since that person doesnt have anti-A antibodies, then there are no B antigens present, which means the person has A type blood.
What blood type goes with type 0?
Blood type O can go with any of the other blood types. It is considered the "universal blood-type" because it doesn't have A or B red cell antigens which means that it can go to type A or type B person.
Does type AB blood contains agglutinate A and B?
If the blood type is AB then the agglutinin would be O because agglutinin is what we do not have. Since the person has AB type blood, he/she does not have O type blood.
Why can't you give type B blood to type A?
The short answer is that the Type B patient has antigens for that specific blood type, so when type A is mixed with the type B, the antibodies in the B blood kill the A blood cells, making it useless.
