In human blood, the universal recipient blood group is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

In human blood, the universal recipient blood group is:
A. B positive
B. O negative
C. AB positive
D. A negative
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
AB positive blood has both A and B antigens and the Rh antigen, so it lacks antibodies against A, B, or Rh. Hence, individuals with AB+ can receive red blood cells from any donor without agglutination. O negative is the universal donor. Compatibility depends on antigens on donor RBCs and antibodies in recipient plasma.

Question #3
Diatomaceous earth, used in filtration and polishing, is formed from the cell walls of:
A. Euglenoids
B. Green algae
C. Dinoflagellates
D. Diatoms

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Diatomaceous earth is a siliceous, sedimentary rock formed from the fossilized remains of diatoms. Diatoms have unique, highly resistant cell walls called frustules, made of hydrated silicon dioxide (silica). Over millions of years, these frustules accumulate on ocean and lake floors, forming diatomaceous earth, which has numerous industrial applications due to its abrasive and porous nature.
