Detailed explanation-1: -Pruthi, M.B.B.S. For emergency transfusions, blood group type O negative blood is the variety of blood that has the lowest risk of causing serious reactions for most people who receive it. Because of this, it’s sometimes called the universal blood donor type.
Detailed explanation-2: -Group O can donate red blood cells to anybody. It’s the universal donor. Group AB can donate to other AB’s but can receive from all others.
Detailed explanation-3: -Final answer: Universal donor and universal acceptor is O-and AB+.
Detailed explanation-4: -Since both A and B antigens are present in a person with AB+ blood and it has a positive Rh factor, the recipient will not reject the blood. That means a person who is AB+ is the universal recipient, as they can get any type of blood.
Detailed explanation-5: -Why is O + a universal donor? Although O+ is considered to be a universal donor, O-is the actual universal donor because A, B, and Rh antigens are absent in the latter. So, it can be given to anyone, irrespective of the blood group.
