ViviBlood types are classified based on the presence or absence of antigens on the surface of red blood cells. The main blood type groups are A, B, AB, and O. Additionally, blood is also classified based on the Rh factor, resulting in blood types either being Rh positive or Rh negative. These differences determine compatibility for blood transfusions.

What are the types of variations?
Genetic and environmental variations are the two main types of variations. Genetic variation refers to differences in DNA sequences between individuals, while environmental variation is caused by differences in the environment in which individuals live and develop. These variations can influence traits and characteristics in organisms.
Is all human blood same?
No, all human blood is not the same. Blood types are determined by the presence or absence of certain antigens on the surface of red blood cells, with the most common blood types being A, B, AB, and O. Additionally, blood can also differ in terms of Rh factor, which further classifies blood as Rh positive or Rh negative.
What are the differences between type A and type B blood types?
Type A blood has A antigens on red blood cells, while type B blood has B antigens. Type A individuals have anti-B antibodies, and type B individuals have anti-A antibodies. Type AB individuals have both A and B antigens, while type O individuals have neither A nor B antigens.
What are the differences in hematocrit levels between males and females?
