Expert Solution
Step 1
  • Blood group system was discoverd by an  Austrian scientist named Karl Landsteiner. He divided blood into different groups on the basis of agglutination pattern of red blood cells into different serum. Blood types are inherited to offsprings from both the parents.
  • ABO blood grouping is based on two antigen which are known as -Antigen A and Antigen B. This ABO blood system is further divided into four types on the presence or absence of antigens present on the red blood cells surface and   antibodies which are found in plasma.
