A person with type O blood can only get a transfusion using type O blood. Someone with type A or B blood, however, can get a transfusion with their own type blood or with type O blood, which is known as a universal blood type.
What two blood types are not compatible?
More than just two blood types are not compatible with each other. The four basic types of blood are: A, B, AB, O(not counting Rh). Type A blood can only receive blood from type A and type O. However, type A blood can donate their blood to type A and type AB. Type B blood can only receive blood from type B and type O. However, type B blood can donate their blood to type B and type AB. Type AB blood can receive blood from every type, A, B, AB, and O. However, type AB blood can only donate to other AB. Type O blood can only receive blood from type O. However, type O can donate their blood to A, B, AB, and O. So, AB is the "universal" reciepient and O is the "universal" donor.

To donate blood do you need to know your blood type?

What causes b plus blood type?
if you receive B blood allele from both parents then the blood type is BB, which is B positive. B negative would be B0 where one parent donates B allele and the other 0. Its all the great wonders of genetics. You see, parents pass on traits from themselves to their children. In the case of blood type, each parent has 2 alleles, but they can only donate 1. So the child's blood type is then reflective of both parents. So if one parent was B0 and the other was AB. The first parent can donate B or 0, while the second can donate A or B. The child can have any combination of them but must receive one from each parent. So AB, BB, B0, and A0 are the possible combinations for these parents. Crazy stuff
Could your blood type be o or b if your fathers is blood type o dominant and your mothers is blood type b dominant?
Yes - blood type O or B are the only possibilities. Each parent donates one allele to the child. The parent with blood type O must donate an O. The parent with blood type be will donate either a B or an O - they can only donate an O if they are heterozygous, BO.
How do blood types react with each other?
An antigen is a substance, usually a protein or a http://www.answers.com/topic/glycoprotein, which, when injected into a human (or other organism) that does not have the antigen, will cause an http://www.answers.com/topic/antibody to be produced. Antibodies are a specific type of immune-system proteins known as immunoglobulins, whose role is to fight infections by binding themselves to antigens. basically this means that different blood types have antigens in them and if they mix then they attack one another
Can AB blood group donate to A blood group?
No, someone with Type O blood cannot receive Type AB blood without adverse immune backlash to the donor blood. This is because the A & B refer to antigens, or proteins, on the red blood cells. Type O people have neither A nor B antigens; thus, their body, which doesn't recognize the antigens, treats the donor blood as a foreign body and attempts to eliminate it. Here's a chart for you: Giving Blood Type............Receiving Blood Type O.....................................O, A, B, AB A......................................A, AB B......................................B, AB AB....................................AB The answer to your question is definitively no; however, note that there are subtypes of A, B, and AB blood types, called A plus/minus, B plus/minus, and AB plus/minus.
