Q.

A universal recipient has the blood group –

A. B
B. AB
C. A
D. O
Answer» B. AB
Explanation: Individuals with type O blood are often called universal donors, and those with type AB blood are called universal recipients. Blood group O Individuals do not have either A or B antigens on the surface of their RBCs, and their blood serum contains IGM anti-A and anti- B antibodies. Therefore, a group O individual can receive blood only from a group O individual, but can donate blood to individuals of any ABO blood group (Le., A, B, O or AB).
