Question

A person with O type blood
A)lacks antibodies to A and B blood types.
B)lacks A and B antigens.
C)could not have the Rh factor.
D)is called a universal recipient.
E)All of these choices are correct.

Accepted Answer

A person with O type blood lacks A and B antigens. This means that their blood cells do not have the A or B antigens on their surfaces. They can still produce antibodies to A and B blood types, which means they can only receive blood from O type donors. They may or may not have the Rh factor. They are called universal donors, not recipients.
