Detailed explanation-1: -It’s the universal donor. Group AB can donate to other AB’s but can receive from all others. Group B can donate red blood cells to B’s and AB’s. Group A can donate red blood cells to A’s and AB’s.

Detailed explanation-2: -AB positive blood type is known as the “universal recipient” because AB positive patients can receive red blood cells from all blood types.

Detailed explanation-3: -People with AB negative blood can receive donations from: AB negative donors. O negative donors. A negative donors.

Detailed explanation-4: -That means people with type A blood create antibodies against B antigens. A person with type A blood receiving a transfusion of type B or AB blood would have an ABO incompatibility reaction. In an ABO incompatibility reaction, your immune system attacks the new blood cells and destroys them.

Detailed explanation-5: -One parent with A and another with B can produce a child with A, B, AB or O blood types. If one parent has A and another has AB, they can either produce a child with A, B or AB blood types. If one parent has A and another has O, they can either produce a child with A or O blood types.
