Blood type O is considered to be very old infact some believe that blood type B is a result of mutation.
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.
My blood type is O negative. I have blood type that is considered a universal donor. My parents are type AB and type O, so it was not very surprising to have type O.
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.
No, unless there has been a genetic mutation in one of the parent; They are B, but a mutation makes them appear to be O --> link between sugar and blood cell is missing so appear O ( the absence of sugar on the blood cell)
Blood type O- is the one that can be giving to anybody
Yes, it is safe.Since type O- blood cells contain no antigens, they will safely interact with type A+ blood. This is why Type O- is considered a "universal donor".
Type O
There is no blood group that is considered as universal recipient. Blood type O individuals are considered to be universal donors.
Type O is the universal doner. It is because the type of antigen on red blood cell is none and the antybody in blood plasma is anti- A and anti-B.It can donate to A,B,AB and O.
People who have type O blood are universal donors, but not universal recipients. They can donate to anyone, but can only receive blood from another type O person. This is why type O blood is always in great demand by blood banks.
Type O blood is considered the universal blood donation type. Someone with type O blood can donate their blood to anyone of any blood type. So yes, your mother could definitely benefit from your blood if you were to donate it to her.
