Yet another question from Penn Foster that is scientifically incorrect. It should be "O"
But the correct answer for their test is
D. AB
Blood type A
AB blood type
Blood Type AB.
Blood Group A
ab
O
Group A.
it has red blood cells with neither a nor b antigensand has anti a and antib antibodies last but lest it is a universal donor
Blood group AB
Your blood type is determined by antibodies (both/either A and B), and Antigens present (both/either A and B) in your Red Blood Cells. O blood types have both A and B antibodies, and neither A or B antigens.
If neither anti-A nor anti-B sera clot with donor blood, the blood type is O. The blood does not have the antigens that will close clotting with the antibodies in the serum.
No, AB positive patients have neither anti-A nor anti-B antibodies. Thus, AB positive is known as the universal receiver of all blood types :).
Type A blood will produce antibodies against B antigens.
What is Blood Type B+ Negative for antibodies
Antibodies are proteins in the blood that fight disease.
Your blood type is determined by antibodies (both/either A and B), and Antigens present (both/either A and B) in your Red Blood Cells. O blood types have both A and B antibodies, and neither A or B antigens. If you are O+ it means you can give blood to anyone. If you are O- it means you can recieve any blood type.
blood test for antibodies ANA TEST Antibodies are often a sign of an infection best thing to do is talk to your doctor
AB blood has both A and B antigens on the cells and therefore if it had any anti-A or anti-B antibodies they would cause the blood to clott and so it has neither. This means that any type of blood can be given to this person, as they will not recognise any antigens on the blood as foreign because they don't have and antibodies. On the other hand they can only give blood to other people of ht ethe type AB. Type A blood has a antigens but not b antigens so it can have anti-b antibodies and b ype blood i the reverse. O type blood has no antigens and therfore both types of antibodies. So all three other types of blood have antibodies that will recognise one or both of the antibodies and cause clotting. For this reason AB type is nicknamed the "universal receiver", meaning they can take from anyone.
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.
