Perfectly

Blood type gene that is inherited as recessive

If your blood accumulates in the anti-A typing serum but not in the anti-B typing serum then you have this blood type

If your blood accumulates in the anti-B typing serum but not in the anti-A typing serum then you have this blood type

If your blood accumulates in both anti-A typing serum and the anti-B typing serum, then you have this blood type

If your blood does not accumulate in either of the typing serums, you have this blood type

Universal donors have blood that is this type

Universal recipient is this blood type

Antigen protein present on the RBC membrane determines this

Blood type

Test that measures the percentage of RBCs in a sample of blood

Hematocrit

No one with type B blood can also have these antibodies

Anti-B

In emergency transfusions one must always consider how the recipient's ________ react with the antigens of the donors RBCs

Antibodies
