Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Group O can donate red blood cells to anybody. It’s the universal donor.
Detailed explanation-2: -7% of the population, or 1 in 11 people, has type O-negative blood. Type O-negative blood can be transfused to ALL blood types. Patients with an O-negative blood type can only receive O-negative blood transfusions. The ideal donation types for O-negative are whole blood and Power Red.
