Question

Is type O blood group rare?

Answer 1

No, O type blood group is very common.

Blood group:

1. Human blood has four major blood groups: O, A, B, and AB, also known as the ABO blood type.
2. Because O⁺ is the most common blood group in the ABO type, it is referred to as the "universal donor."
3. This blood type is found in approximately 37 to 40% of the population. O^- is a rare blood group, accounting for only 6 to 7% of the total population.
4. AB^- is the least common blood type, accounting for less than 1% of the population.
5. Because AB⁺ people can accept blood from any other blood type, they are known as the "universal recipient."
