Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason behind type A blood having anti-B bodies instead of having anti-A bodies.
Introduction:
The human blood is categorized into several blood groups depending upon the antigen present in the blood. These antigenic substances could be glycolipids, glycoprotein, proteins, and carbohydrates. The blood group of an individual depends on the blood group of the parents. Rhesus factor is also an important factor in determining the blood group of an individual.
