The correct Answer is:
To answer the question, "Persons with `___________` and `_____________` blood group are called universal recipients & universal donors respectively," we need to identify the blood groups that fit these definitions. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Blood Groups**: - There are four main blood groups: A, B, AB, and O. - Each blood group has specific antigens on the surface of red blood cells (RBCs): - A blood group has A antigens. - B blood group has B antigens. - AB blood group has both A and B antigens. - O blood group has no antigens. 2. **Identifying Universal Donor**: - The universal donor is the blood group that can donate blood to any other blood group without causing an immune response. - Since O blood group has no antigens, it does not trigger an immune response in recipients. - Therefore, the universal donor is **O** blood group. 3. **Identifying Universal Recipient**: - The universal recipient is the blood group that can receive blood from any other blood group without producing antibodies against the donor's antigens. - AB blood group has both A and B antigens and does not produce antibodies against either, making it capable of accepting blood from any group. - Therefore, the universal recipient is **AB** blood group. 4. **Final Answer**: - Persons with **AB** blood group are called universal recipients, and persons with **O** blood group are called universal donors. ### Answer: Persons with **AB** and **O** blood group are called universal recipients & universal donors respectively.
