What are the differences between type A and type B blood types?
Type A blood has A antigens on red blood cells, while type B blood has B antigens. Type A individuals have anti-B antibodies, and type B individuals have anti-A antibodies. Type AB individuals have both A and B antigens, while type O individuals have neither A nor B antigens.
Where does the positive and negative for blood come from?
The positive and negative blood types come from the presence or absence of certain antigens on the surface of red blood cells. Blood type A has A antigens, B has B antigens, AB has both A and B antigens, and O has neither A nor B antigens.

Which type of blood is the universal recipient?
A universal donor can donate to any blood type. The only universal donor is 0 negative because it doesn't have an antigens.
