Question 1 Report

An individual with blood group AB can receive blood from those in blood group(s)
Answer Details
An individual with blood group AB is considered to be the universal recipient, which means they can receive blood from all blood groups, including A, B, AB, and O. This is because blood group AB has both A and B antigens on its red blood cells and does not produce antibodies against either antigen. Therefore, when an individual with blood group AB receives blood from any other blood group, their body does not recognize the foreign antigens as harmful and does not produce antibodies against them, resulting in no adverse reactions. Thus, the only option among the given choices that matches the blood group(s) that an individual with blood group AB can receive blood from is "A, B, AB, and O."
