Under the ABO method, a person with an unknown blood group loses a lot of blood in a road accident and needs an immediate blood transfusion. A friend of his, who has a valid certificate of his blood group, requests for blood donation without any delay. The blood group of the blood donor is: Correct Answer O

Concept:-

  • Blood groups: the surface of red blood cells carries a range of different proteins (antigen). These antigens which are inherited determine the blood group.
  • Individuals can make antibodies to these antigens, but not to their own type of antigen since if they did the antigens and antibodies would react

Explanation:-

  • There are many different collections of red cell surface antigens, but the most important are ABO and Rhesus systems.
  • ABO method: the test to determine the blood group.

Universal donor:  

  • Blood group O is compatible with all groups because O red cells have no antigens, and will therefore not stimulate anti - Or anti - B antibodies.

I had seen this road many years ago when my parents moved to Mundakotukurussi, our ancestral village. However, in those early years, I hadn't begun exploring the countryside. I stored the unknown road in my head under 'One Day I Will'. Ten years ago, when I recovered from a herniated disc, it was to discover that I had a useless left leg. Though I managed to lose the limp, I hated not being able to stride around as I used to. I needed a challenge to tell myself that I wasn't going to buckle to a creature called sciatica. Thus the 'One Day I Will' arrived. "Where does the road by the medical shop lead to?" I asked my parents while visiting them next. "Chalavara," they said. "It's not an easy road to walk on," my father added. "There are too many ups and downs." Chalavara was a superior grade of a village as compared to Mundakotukurussi, with a high school, a fine library, ATMs and several shops. But it also has two approach roads. The one I had chosen was a narrow back road used by the locals and that settled it for me. I needed to know for myself I could walk a road that wasn't going to be easy. And the next day, I would get up and walk that road again. What makes Chalavara better than Mundakotukurussi?
