What blood type is a universal door?

The universal donor is blood type O. O can be injected into any other blood type because of the way blood works. Basically there are certain types of protein that cover the outsides of the red blood cells that compose blood. If someone has the A protein, he has type A and same with Type B. However, type AB has both types of protein on its "coat." Lastly, O has no protein attached to its cells and can "get along" with any other blood type. Another interesting point is that the blood type AB is considered the universal recipient because it can receive any kind of blood.


What kind of antibodies are found in 0 negative blood?

Type O negative blood does not have A or B antigens on its red blood cells, making it the universal donor blood type. It contains both anti-A and anti-B antibodies in the plasma to help fight against foreign antigens of blood types A and B during transfusions.


What blood type is a universal donor and what blood type is a universal receiver?

The universal donor blood type is O negative. This blood type can be given to individuals of any blood type. The universal receiver blood type is AB positive. This blood type can receive blood from individuals of any blood type.


Can a person with blood type A and a person with blood type B have a child with blood type O?

Yes, it is possible for a person with blood type A and a person with blood type B to have a child with blood type O.


How can one determine blood type from parents?

Blood type can be determined from parents by looking at their blood types and using the principles of genetics. A child's blood type is determined by the combination of blood type genes inherited from their parents. For example, if both parents have type A blood, their child could have either type A or type O blood. If one parent has type A blood and the other has type B blood, their child could have type A, type B, type AB, or type O blood.
