Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Type O blood has
A
A antigen and B antibodies
B
Type B antigens and Type A antibodies
C
No antigens and A and B antibodies
D
A and B antigens and no antibodies
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -blood group O – has no antigens, but both anti-A and anti-B antibodies in the plasma. blood group AB – has both A and B antigens, but no antibodies.

Detailed explanation-2: -Group AB individuals have neither anti-A nor anti-B antibodies in their plasma. Group AB plasma can therefore be given to patients of any ABO blood group and is often referred to as the universal plasma donor.

Detailed explanation-3: -ABO antigens are added to N-linked oligosaccharide chains on the VWF subunit. Thus patients with the type O blood group genotype lack the functional glycosyltransferase that adds N-acetylgalactosamine and D-galactose to the H antigen on VWF in blood group A and B subjects, respectively.
