Type AB blood contains both A and B antigens. This allows the person to receive blood from types A, B, O, and AB.
Type A, is this from the Blood Basics Quiz? I hate that thing.
Blood types are distinguished by the type of antigen on the red blood cells. Type A has A antigens, type B has B antigens type AB has both antigens and type O has none.
Yes, type A blood has A antigens.
Your husband would be incorrect, blood types that have Antigens would be type A and B and AB. Type O means you do not have any Antigens in your blood.
Type AB blood contains both A and B antigens. This allows the person to receive blood from types A, B, O, and AB.
A type A blood sample contains A antigens which will conflict with any sample that does not have A antigens (B, O). O contains no antigens and therefore is compatible with all blood types.
No, type B blood does not have A antigens. Type B blood has B antigens.
In the ABO system, it is O blood type that contains no surface antigens.
If the blood type is AB then the agglutinin would be O because agglutinin is what we do not have. Since the person has AB type blood, he/she does not have O type blood.
O negative is the universal donor because it does not contain any antigens (markers). When you get donated blood it has to have the same antigens as the ones your own blood contains. Since O- does not have any antigens, it will be accepted by any blood type.
Blood type AA+= blood contains substance A and the rhesus (Rh) factorA-= blood contains substance A but does not contain the rhesus (Rh) factorBlood type BB+= blood contains substance B and the rhesus (Rh) factorB-= blood contains substance B but does not contain the rhesus (Rh) factor
blood type A has type A antigens. blood type B has type B antigens.

No - blood type B cannot donate to blood type O. This is because blood type B contains B antigens, and blood type O contains Anti-B antibodies. However, blood type O can donate to blood type B.
Antigens, by definition, cause the body to produce antibodies which act against them. You inherit certain antigens which are on your red blood cells. Sometimes these antigens are absent from your RBC. If you are type B, you have B antigens. Type A has A antigens, AB has AB antigens and type O has no antigens. If you are type AB, you can receive AB blood from some one else.
Platelets don't carry any specific anti-body or antigen that would need to be matched up as the whole blood does as to not cause coagulation
