Which blood type is called the universal recipient?
A) type A
B) type B
C) type O
D) type AB
D) type AB
Type AB is the universal recipient because it has no antibodies against other blood
types. Persons with type A or type B blood types are not universal recipients. Type O blood does
not have any markers, so it will not react with anti-A or anti-B antibodies, which makes persons
with type O blood universal donors. Persons with type A or type B blood types are not universal
donors.
