MDCAT Biology QUESTION #11260
Question 1
A person with blood group AB$^+$ can safely receive blood from:
  • Only AB$^+$ donors
  • AB$^+$ and O$^-$ donors
  • Any blood group (universal recipient)✔️
  • Only A$^+$ and B$^+$ donors
Correct Answer Explanation
AB$^+$ is the universal recipient for red blood cell transfusions because it has both A and B antigens on RBCs and the Rh factor, so it does not produce antibodies against A, B, or Rh antigens. However, for plasma transfusions, AB is the universal donor.
