Question
Chapter 27, Problem 2WIO
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The blood types which are considered as universal donor and universal recipient.
Introduction:
The major function of blood is the transportation of nutrients and waste in and out of the body. Red blood cells along with hemoglobin contain certain molecules on its outer membrane. These molecules and carbohydrates are produced due to multiple alleles present in genes. These molecules are responsible for the determination of a person’s blood type.

One blood type is called the universal donor and one I type is called recipient. Which blood types are these ?
Referring to figure 30.4, speculate about which blood type isconsidered the “universal donor” and which is called the “universalrecipient.” Explain your answer
A person with O blood type is transfused with type A blood. What happens? Why? What constitutes a universal donor and a universal recipient? What happens when blood from a universal recipient is transfused to universal donor? Why there is no universal donor or universal recipient anymore?
