Why is negative O blood type the rarest blood type?

1 answer:

4 0

Oddly enough, type O blood in the U.S. is not by itself the rarest blood type. Actually O+ is one of the most common. But because O is the recessive of the A-B-O gene group, and also Rh- is recessive in it's gene, the combination makes it extremely rare. Roughly 85% if people have the Rh+ allele, and roughly 1/3 people are O, but those are only O+.
The rarest is actually AB-, because 3% or less are this type. O- people are around 5% of population.
However because O- blood is the "universal donor" (will not cause immune reactions with any other blood type when transfused in) for hospitals and blood banks, it is always in short supply.

RESISTANCE STAGE: In this stage the parasympathetic branch of the ANS counteracts the changes which stress has produced an attempts are made for the restoration of homeostasis.There will be increased glucose in the blood, high BP but stress hormone levels begin to return to normal which enables the body focus to shift from alertness to renovation.
EXHAUSTION STAGE: The body don't have any energy left to cope with the continued stress in the long term and when it continue the body will show the signs of exhaustion. There will be gradual deterioration if it persists.
