If blood is in short supply, which blood type would be the most beneficial to have on hand if someone needed a blood transfusion? o+ o– ab+ ab–

The correct answer is option (B) O-.

Blood groups are classified into four groups called the A, B, AB and O based on the presence or absence of antigens A and B. These are the glycoproteins present on the membrane of the red blood cells. Apart from this another antigen called the Rhesus factor (Rh) classifies each group into positive or negative. The presence of this antigen makes the blood groups A+, B+, AB+ and O+ and the absence of this antigen makes the blood groups A-, B-, AB- and O-.

The blood groups and the antigens on them are mentioned below.

Blood group             Antigen                           Rh positive                   Rh negative

A                                  A                                          A+                                 A-

B                                  B                                          B+                                 B-

AB                          Both A and B                           AB+                               AB-

O                            Neither A nor B.                       O+                                 O-

Since, O- is the blood group without the antigens A, B and Rh factor, the blood can be donated to the other three blood groups. Thus, O- is called the universal blood donor as it is compatible with any bloof type.

B) O-

Explanation:

mountains can affect the climate of nearby lands. in some areas, mountains block rain, so that one side of a mountain range may be rainy and the other side may be a desert. much of airborne moisture falls as rain on the windward side of mountains.

explanation:

your body is trying to warm itself up. or more precisely, sensors in your skin send messages to your brain to generate heat to your body.
