Expert Solution

Step 1

There are 4 possible blood types - type A, B, AB and O. There are two surface antigens that can be present on the surface of the RBC - antigen A and antigen B

Type A blood individuals have antigen A on the surface of their RBC (red blood cell) or erythrocyte. Since the blood does not have antigen B, it produces anti-B antibodies against the B antigen.

Type B individuals have surface antigen B and hence have anti-A antibodies. Type AB have both antigens on their surface and hence no antibodies against antigens A and B. However type O has no surface antigens and thus will have anti-A antibodies as well as anti-B antibodies.
