O-
The overwhelming majority of people in America have type O blood. A significant minority have type A blood and a very small percentage of the American public has either type B or AB blood.
Yes, blood type "O" is considered universal recipient. Blood type "AB" can not donate too someone with blood type O can donate blood too a person with blood type O.
Blood type O is considered to be very old infact some believe that blood type B is a result of mutation.
everybody has different blood group. According to my knowledge, blood type o is considered one of the most important type of blood. A person will have this type of blood depending on what they eat during their first years of life. there are also other type of blood such as A,B and AB.
Type O positive blood is the most common type of blood. Having Type O blood means that neither A nor B antigens are found on the surface of red blood cells. Thus Type O blood is considered the universal donor since all blood types can receive a Type O donation. Type O individuals can only receive Type O blood transfusions, but since it is the most common blood type this is not a concern.
The most rare blood type is AB-, which makes up only 1% of caucasians. It will take a lot longer because the doctor's have to match the blood or his kidney transplant would reject.
O negative blood type is considered the most valuable to have in hospital blood banks because it is the universal donor, meaning it can be given to patients with any blood type. This is especially important in emergency situations when there may not be time to determine a patient's blood type before transfusing.
The blood type that is theoretically considered the universal donor is type O. Type O blood does not have any antigens, therefore it is compatible with any blood type.
Yes, type O blood is considered universal because they can donate to all other blood types. It is also the most common blood type. They only can receive blood from another type O person.
There is no blood group that is considered as universal recipient. Blood type O individuals are considered to be universal donors.
Not particularly.
Type O is by far the most common blood type on a global scale. It is considered the oldest blood type and is the basis for all other bloods, hence it being called the universal donor. The downside however to type O blood is that, being the first blood type, it can only receive other type O blood in the case of a transfusion.
