Type A blood can only go to someone that also has type A. There is a protein in type A blood that would cause blood of other types to clump togather if it is mixed with them. Type B can only give to B, AB can only give to AB, but O blood is sort of special. In cases of an emergency, O blood could be given to people with any type, though. A little clumping would occur, but it would not be enough to cause problems. There is a lot of complicated anatomy in the blood that causes these problems.
**Answer from another person**
Type A blood can go to either another type A or type AB. Type B blood can go to either another type B or type AB. Type O can go to any blood type - O, A, B or AB hence it is known as the universal donor. While AB is the universal recipient - can receive any other type blood.
It's also not true that clumping would occur when being given type O blood!!
No.
Blood type AB can only donate to another AB type. Blood type O+ can be given to anyone, but a blood type like A or B or AB can only be donated to a person who has the same exact blood type as the person who is donating their blood.
Yes. O- can donate to all blood types. O+ can only donate to other positive blood types, including AB+.
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.
A person with A negative blood can donate blood to a person with A negative blood and a person with AB negative blood.
The rarest type of blood is O. people with O type blood can donate blood to anybody and there are very few people that have this blood type. It is extremely rare.
Blood type AB can only donate to another AB type. Blood type O+ can be given to anyone, but a blood type like A or B or AB can only be donated to a person who has the same exact blood type as the person who is donating their blood.
