The blood type known as the universal donor is Type O negative (O-). Individuals with Type O negative blood can donate their blood to recipients of any blood type, making it compatible with all other blood types. This is because Type O negative blood lacks the A and B antigens present in other blood types, so it doesn't trigger an immune response when transfused into individuals with different blood types.
