A blood type is a kind of blood that is distinguished by the presence or absence of antibodies and hereditary antigenic compounds on the surface of red blood cells.
The genes inherited from one's parents establish one's, blood group.
While there are various blood group systems used to sort our blood, the most essential is ABO.
There are four major blood groups (blood types): A, B, AB, and O.
Group A contains the A antigen and the B antibody.
The B antigen and the A antibody are found in Group B.
Group AB has A and B antigens but no A or B antibodies.
Group O lacks A and B antigens but possesses both A and B antibodies.
Rare blood type:
The Rh factor is the name given to the third kind of antigen. If you have this antigen, your blood type is "Rh+" or "positive," and if you don't, your blood type is "Rh-" or “negative.”
AB negative (Rh) blood type is the most uncommon, accounting for less than 1% of the world's population.
