Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Would a person with type B blood be able to receive type AB blood from a transfusion?
A
yes, because they both have the B antigen
B
yes, because the person has B antibodies
C
no, because the person has A antibodies
D
no, because the person has B antibodies
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -So as a person with type B blood, you could get a transfusion from someone with B or O blood, but not A or AB. Things are a little different for people with type AB or type O blood: If you have both A and B markers on the surface of your cells (type AB blood), your body does not need to fight the presence of either.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Blood B+ can donate to B+ and AB+ Blood B-can donate to B+, B-, AB+ and AB-Blood AB+ can donate to AB+

Detailed explanation-4: -B positive red blood cells can be given to both B positive and AB positive patients. B positive patients can receive blood from B positive, B negative, O positive and O negative donors.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
