Answer 1

1. The first patient type O+ blood. does not have any antigen on his/her red blood cells.

2. The patient can receive O- , O+ type of blood from any other person.

3. The second patient with  A+ blood type has A antigen in his/her blood type.

4. Patient with A+ blood type can receive A and O  blood group.

5. The second patient can receive blood from A rh negative, A rh positive, O rh positive and O rh negative blood group.

6. Data inadequate.

7. AB+ is called universal blood recipient .

8. Blood type O- is called the universal donor.

9. Persons with O blood does not have any antigens in their blood cell but they have both the antibodies, A and B . So they react with antigens present in the other blood groups when they are treated with the other blood groups than O group.

10. No , patient with Rh- blood cannot receive Rh+ blood .they only can receive blood from Rh- blood . Rh- makes antibodies against Rh + and therefore blood that is Rh+ will be rejected.
