Answer

  1. Blood group is designated on the basis of the presence of antibodies in the blood plasma.

Explanation:

Blood groups are designated on the basis of antigen present on the surface of their RBCs. e.g., Person with blood group A have antigen A on surface of their RBCs and antibody B in plasma. Incompatibility during blood transfusion leads to reaction between antigens on the cells and antibodies in plasma, which produces clots that clog Human ABO blood groups and their compatibility is shown as:
