Answer: Blood group O individuals are able to produce Anti- A and Anti- B and are often referred to as UNIVERSAL DONORS, while blood group AB individuals produces none and are often referred to as UNIVERSAL RECIPIENTS

Explanation:

Two antigens, type A and type B, occur on the surfaces of the red blood cells in a large proportion of human beings. These antigens are referred to as agglutinogens because they often cause blood cell agglutination during blood transfusion. Because of the way these antigens are inherited, people may have neither of them on their cells , they may have one or they may have both simultaneously.

When type A antigen and type B antigen is not present in an individuals reb blood cell as seen in blood group O, antibodies known as Anti-A and Anti- B develops in the plasma. This is because small amounts of type A and type B antigens enter the body through food, bacteria and other ways and they initiate the development of anti A and Anti- B antibodies in their plasma.

Furthermore, individuals with blood type AB has antigen A and B on their red blood cells and therefore do not develop antibodies A and B in their plasma. This makes them universal recipient as their blood do not discriminate any ABO blood group during blood transfusion.

Mutualism

Explanation:

This type of relationship is where all organisms involved benefit from the interaction.

In lichen, this relationship is facultative.

Cerrena [4.2K]

To develop a particular fitness component, you must perform exercises that are designed particularly for that component. this is referred to specificity principle.

The Principle of Specificity in body fitness explains that fitness in any  skill is earned through constant practice of the particular skill. This means that any training geared towards a sport should be specific with constant practice so as to   improve the skill required for  that sport.

This implies that

  • a swimmer should swim more to improve swimming performance.
  • a footballer should play more footballs to improve his footballing.
