Hospitals tend to use universal donor's, especially in emergency situations. Although they also use specific donors in non-emergency situations, like if someone were to need blood during a surgical procedure.
Yes because universal donors have o blood.
no donors can only receive o-
People with blood type O are universal donors, not universal recipients.
There is no blood group that is considered as universal recipient. Blood type O individuals are considered to be universal donors.
Universal Donors
They are missing the antigens that elicit a reaction. So in an emergency, one may use their blood as if it were a matching type.
Type O is considered the universal blood type.
I assume you meant to ask "O- or O+", but it wouldn't allow the punctuation. O- (O-negative) is the universal donor.
No, any type B blood types including B positive are not universal donors or universal recipients. Type O is the universal donor as it has neither A nor B antigen on the red cells. Type O blood donors can donate blood to anyone. Type AB is the universal recipient type and can receive blood from all blood types.
Yes. This is why those with type O blood are called universal donors.
because their blood cells don't have a different type of chemical on them as in A and B blood. actually, only people with O negative blood are universal donors because if you have A negative, you can't take O positive blood
The probability that any given donor is a universal donor is 0.072.We need the probability that the number of universal donors in this group of 20 is not zero or one.Probability of getting zero universal donors: ( 1 - 0.072 )^20 = 0.224367Probability of getting one such donor: 0.348156 (given by the binomial probability density function: probability of one success in 20 trials with p=0.072)Total: 0.224367 + 0.348156 = 0.572523, the probability of zero or one donorsBut we want 1 - 0.572523 = 0.427477, the probability of getting two or more such donors.^ stands for 'to the power of'
