2. Which blood type is a universal donor?

• A. A
• B. B
• C. AB
• D. O

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Rationale: Blood type O is considered the universal donor because individuals with type O blood can donate red blood cells to individuals with any ABO blood type (A, B, AB, or O) without causing an adverse reaction. This is because type O blood lacks A or B antigens on the surface of red blood cells, which helps minimize the risk of an immune response when transfused into individuals with different blood types. Therefore, type O blood is in high demand for blood transfusions in emergency situations when the recipient's blood type is unknown or when there is a shortage of specific blood types.

5. What is the difference between a phylum and a class?

• A. Phylums are broader and more general
• B. Classes are broader and more general
• C. They are synonyms, used for the same groups
• D. Phylums are for plants, classes are for animals

Correct answer: A

Phylum represents a group of organisms sharing a common body plan or evolutionary history, while a class is a more specific category within a phylum that includes organisms with similar characteristics. Therefore, phylums are broader and more general compared to classes.
