Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is blood type?
A
Classification of blood based on the presence of inherited antigenic substances on the surface of RBC
B
Classification of cells based on the presence of nucleus
C
Classification of blood based on the presence of inherited antigenic substances on the surface of WBC
D
It is created in the bone marrow
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -ABO blood group system, the classification of human blood based on the inherited properties of red blood cells (erythrocytes) as determined by the presence or absence of the antigens A and B, which are carried on the surface of the red cells. Persons may thus have type A, type B, type O, or type AB blood.

Detailed explanation-2: -The antigens expressed on the red blood cell determine an individual’s blood group. The main two blood groups are called ABO (with blood types A, B, AB, and O) and Rh (with Rh D-positive or Rh D-negative blood types).

Detailed explanation-3: -If you have type B blood, your red blood cells will have B antigens, and your body will produce anti-A antibodies. If you have type AB blood, your red blood cells will have both A and B antigens, and therefore produce no antibodies.

Detailed explanation-4: -Blood typing is done so you can safely donate your blood or receive a blood transfusion. It is also done to see if you have a substance called Rh factor on the surface of your red blood cells. Your blood type is based on whether or not certain proteins are on your red blood cells. These proteins are called antigens.
