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.

This condition is called deep-vein thrombosis, or DVT. Given what you know about blood flow in the veins, explain why periodically getting up and moving around in a plane’s cabin during a long flight may lower the risk that a cloth will form.arrow_forward
