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

Which was not a result of the 1898 discovery of the four blood types?
The 1898 discovery of the four blood types (A, B, AB, O) did not directly lead to the discovery of the Rh factor, which was identified later in 1940. The discovery of the four blood types laid the foundation for understanding blood transfusions and paved the way for safer and more successful blood transfusions in medicine.
How can one create a Punnett square to determine the possible blood types of offspring based on the parents' blood types?
To create a Punnett square for determining the possible blood types of offspring based on the parents' blood types, you would first identify the blood type alleles of each parent (A, B, or O). Then, you would create a 4-square grid with the alleles of each parent on the top and side of the grid. By combining the alleles in each square, you can determine the possible blood types of the offspring.
What is a hyenas blood type?
Hyenas have blood types that are similar to other mammals, typically consisting of A, B, and O blood groups. Additionally, they possess an additional antigen that can complicate blood transfusions between individuals with different blood types.
What are the three blood types?

Do you think there are as many blood types as there are letters in the alphabet?
No, there are four primary blood types: A, B, AB, and O. Each of these blood types can be either positive or negative, making a total of eight possible blood type combinations. These blood types are determined by the presence or absence of certain antigens on the surface of red blood cells.
What blood types do a- take and why and why doesnt it take the other blood types?
Blood types usually only take blood of the same type, with the exception of O. Different blood types, such as A and B, will see each other as a threat to the body, a foreign object, and will attack each other.
What acids react with each other?
citric acids react with each other
What blood types do other animals have?
Animals have many different kinds. The number of blood types vary throughout each different species. For example, cats have 3, cows have about 800 and dogs have 13 (6-8 of which are the major ones). This is why blood transfusions cannot be made to different species. The donors blood will react to the patients blood because their blood types are not the same.
Does nickel chloride react with sodium chloride?
They do not react each other.
What happen when a acid and a base react with each other?
They react and cancel each other out. The process is called neutralization and it causes them to cancel out.
Which bloods are the most compatible?
O- is compatible with any blood type (giving to that type) AB+ can receive any blood. Other blood types are only compatible with themselves and not each other.
Can an AB positive boy marry an A positive girl?

Is every body with AB positive blood kind to one another?
No. People usually don't know each other's blood types, so they base their decisions on other features.
What are the major blood types?
There are eight types of blood. The blood types can be either A, B, AB, or O. Each one of these blood types can be either negative or positive. So you would have A- or A+, B- or B+ and so on.
