O negative blood type is the universal donor, but this only applies in terms of ABO grouping and rh classification. There are exceptions, but O- is often used in an emergency situation until the ability to type and crossmatch is provided.
Plasma, however, has the opposite consequences. In terms of plasma, AB is the universal donor.
The impact is that whole blood must be matched. If you are giving blood components in an emergency situation, it should only be RBC's or plasma.
The four blood types are A, B, AB, and O. The universal donor is O and the universal recipient is AB
O negative is the universal donor because when O+ve blood group is transfused to -ve blood group recipient, antibodies are produced which causes hemolysis of Rh +ve labelled blood cells. When O-ve blood is transfused to Rh +ve recipient, no antibodies are produced as donor blood has no Rh factor present on blood cells, so no transfusion reaction occurs. Thus, O -ve is universal donor.
The blood type that is theoretically considered the universal donor is type O. Type O blood does not have any antigens, therefore it is compatible with any blood type.
Blood type O is a universal donor of all blood types but can only receive from blood type O. Blood type AB is the only blood type that is a universal receiver of any blood type, but can only receive from blood type AB.
The universal donor is blood type O.

No. O negative is the universal donor.
Yes, A person having O +ve blood group is universal donor
O negative is the universal donor because when O+ve blood group is transfused to -ve blood group recipient, antibodies are produced which causes hemolysis of Rh +ve labelled blood cells. When O-ve blood is transfused to Rh +ve recipient, no antibodies are produced as donor blood has no Rh factor present on blood cells, so no transfusion reaction occurs. Thus, O -ve is universal donor.

Blood type O-
Blood type O is a universal donor of all blood types but can only receive from blood type O. Blood type AB is the only blood type that is a universal receiver of any blood type, but can only receive from blood type AB.
Blood type O is the universal donor.
Type O negative.
The universal donor is blood type O.
Type O negative blood is a universal donor blood type. In normal circumstances, anyone can receive type O negative blood in a transfusion. When it comes to plasma donation, type AB positive is a universal donor.
O+ :is a universal donor
