Answer 1

a person with type AB blood is often called a universal receiver because they're blood produce antibodies. Though getting a transfusion from a person with type O blood is not ideal, it can work.

Answer 2

Blood type O does not have any antigens, so it doesn’t trigger an immune response in humans with other blood types. However, people with type O blood can receive only O blood because other blood types all contain antigens, which would trigger an immune response. People with AB blood are universal recipients because they have both A and B antigens. So, they can receive blood from A, B, AB, and O blood types.
