What are blood types?

Blood types are categorized based on the presence or absence of specific antigens on red blood cells. The main blood type groups are A, B, AB, and O, with each group further classified as either positive or negative based on the presence of the Rh factor. This classification is important for blood transfusions to ensure compatibility between donor and recipient blood.


ABO blood groups are based on the presence of?

Antigens A & B. If the person inherits just A or B they will be in that blood group, but if they inherit both types of antigens they will be in the AB group, and if they inherit no antibodies they will be in the O group


What are the different blood types in the ABO blood?

The ABO blood group is the most well known blood type group. In the ABO blood group there are four types: A, B, AB and O. These blood types are determined by various combinations of two antigens and two antibodies.


What are the four different blood groups?

The internation society of blood transfusion recognizes 29 human blood groups. Usually when referring to blood type one uses the ABO grouping system and in that system there are the following blood types: A,B,O,AB

How many blood group in human?

You can either have AB, A, B, or 0. so in general 4 groups. But the blood groups A and B can be heterozygous or homozygous. Meaning Aa, AA or Bb, BB Answer The blood groups are A, B, AB and O. The blood genotypes are AA, BB, AB, AO, BO and OO. A and B are equally dominant alleles, thus explaining the existence of AB.

What blood type can be found if the mother has type AB blood and the father has type A blood?

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.


Who are Groups who are related by blood?

If you have AB blood type what group could give blood to?

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.


What are the different blood groups explain each in brief?

Blood groups are classified based on the presence or absence of specific antigens on the surface of red blood cells, primarily following the ABO and Rh systems. The ABO system includes four main groups: A (has A antigens), B (has B antigens), AB (has both A and B antigens), and O (has neither antigen). The Rh system indicates the presence (+) or absence (-) of the Rh factor, commonly referred to as the D antigen. This results in eight possible blood types: A+, A-, B+, B-, AB+, AB-, O+, and O-.
