A and B are antigens that are on the surface of red blood cells. People have one, both, or none. If you don't naturally produce the antigen, your body's white blood cells will attack and destroy red blood cells that carry them.
So if a person with type A blood is injected with type B blood, the body of that person will attack the type-B blood cells.
A person with AB positive blood is a universal receiver, because they already produce all of the normal antigens present on red blood cells. So a AB+ person's body will not attack red blood cells that carry some, all, or none of the antigens. Likewise, O- is called the universal donor, because it lacks all antigens. So no one's body will recognize it as foreign.

What are the universal donors?
Type O is considered the universal blood type.
What blood types can an AB blood type recieve blood from?

That is why O- is the hardest in term of blood transfution.
What blood type is the universal donor?

It is very important because it potentially be transfused to any patient regardless of their blood type. Especially in emergency situations, when there isn't enough time to determine a patients blood type.
Why cant a person with A-type blood donate to a person with B-type blood?
An individual with type A blood is not compatible with an individual with type B blood because, they have opposing antibodies. If a transfusion were to occur, the individual may die as a result of the white blood cells attacking the foreign antibody.
Why is blood type o the most common if it has 2 recessive traits?
Blood type O is the most common because it is a universal donor blood type, meaning it can be given to recipients with any blood type in a transfusion. This gives individuals with blood type O a survival advantage over those with other blood types. Additionally, the O blood type allele is believed to be one of the oldest blood type alleles, which has contributed to its prevalence in the population.
Can AB donor be transfuse into a type O recipient?
While type O blood is known as being the universal donor, it is not a universal recipient. Type O blood can be transfused into any other blood type, but someone with type O blood could only receive a transfusion of type O blood.

Was ask by doctor to let your wife know you are o- why?
This is a really basic answer. There are four blood types, A AB, B and O. There are positive and negative versions of each. If a person needs blood (for an operation, maybe, or if they got injured and bled a lot), the blood types have to be compatible or the person will die. "O negative" blood is known as the "universal donor" blood because it doesn't conflict with any of the other types. "AB" is known as "universal recipient" blood because any of the four blood types can be used. If you have O negative blood, you should be able to give your wife blood if she needs it for a transfusion. (I think O negative is the most common blood type, by the way. AB is the rarest.)
