a.
To determine:
Whether the following blood type could be donated to a person with type O blood: blood type B.
Introduction:
In type B blood group, the RBCs surface have type B antigen and plasma has anti-A antibody. The blood group of these individuals is identified as type B. In O blood group, no antigen is present on RBCs surface, but their plasma has both types of antibody-like anti-A and anti-B. Therefore, individual having O blood group identified as a universal donor.
b.
To determine:
Whether the following blood type could be donated to a person with type O blood: blood type AB.
Introduction:
In AB group, both type of antigen; type A or type B antigen is present on RBCs surface, but their plasma lack antibodies. Due to this, the individual having AB blood group is identified as universal acceptor. In O blood group, no antigen is present on RBCs surface, but their plasma has both types of antibody; anti-A or anti-B.
