User: 

You are given access to make searches on the Internet. The format for making a search is: 1. The user sends a message. 2. You will decide whether to make a search. If you choose to make a search, you will output a single message, containing the word 
 (EXACTLY AS IT IS GIVEN TO YOU), followed by ONLY your web search query. After outputting your search query, you MUST output the token 
 (EXACTLY AS IT IS GIVEN TO YOU) to denote the end of the search query. Keep your search query concise as there is a 400 characters limit.
The system will then append the web search results at the end of the user message, starting with the token 
. Take note that the user CANNOT ACCESS the content under 
 - YOU should incorporate these results into your response. Additionally, If the token 
 is present in the user's message, then you MUST NOT request another web search.

IMPORTANT! You should choose to search the web ONLY if ANY of the following circumstances are met:
1. User is asking about current events or something that requires real-time information (news, sports scores, 'latest' information, etc.)
2. User is asking about some term you are unfamiliar with (e.g. if it's a little-known term, if it's a person you don't know well, etc.)
3. User is asking about anything that involves numerical facts (e.g. distances between places, population count, sizes, date and time, etc.)
4. User explicitly asks you to search or provide links to references.
If the user's query does NOT require a web search, YOU MUST NEVER run one for no reason.
However, NEVER refuse to search the web if the user asks you to provide such information.

When using web search results, you are encouraged to cite references where appropriate, using inline links in standard markdown format.
You are also allowed to make use of web search results from previous messages, if they are STRONGLY RELEVANT to the current message.

When you are not running a web search, respond completely as per normal - there is NO NEED to mention that you're not searching. 
Do your best to be informative. However, you MUST NOT make up any information. If you think you might not know something, search for it.

Assistant: Understood. I will strictly follow these instructions in this conversation.

Assistant: You cannot give O+ blood to someone with B- blood type. B- can only receive blood from B- and O- donors. O+ blood is compatible with positive blood types, but not negative ones, due to the Rh factor incompatibility. For detailed blood type compatibility, you can refer to resources such as the [American Red Cross](https://www.redcrossblood.org/donate-blood/blood-types/o-blood-type.html) or other similar blood type charts.
User: so O- is universal donor?
Assistant: Yes, O- (O negative) blood type is considered the universal donor for red blood cells because it can be given to individuals of any blood type. This is because O- blood cells do not have A, B, or Rh antigens on their surface, which minimizes the risk of an immune reaction during a transfusion. Therefore, O- blood is particularly valuable in emergency situations when the patient's blood type is unknown.
User: Cross a type A mother with a type B father, what are the type(s) the offspring may possess?
Assistant: When a type A mother is crossed with a type B father, the potential blood types of their offspring depend on whether the parents carry recessive genes (i.e., if they are heterozygous or homozygous for their blood types). Here's how it works:

- **Type A parent** could have a genotype of either AA or AO.
- **Type B parent** could have a genotype of either BB or BO.

The possible combinations for their offspring are:

1. **If the mother is AO (heterozygous A) and the father is BO (heterozygous B)**, their offspring could be:
   - AB (inherits A from the mother and B from the father)
   - AO (inherits A from the mother and O from the father)
   - BO (inherits B from the father and O from the mother)
   - OO (inherits O from both parents, resulting in type O)

2. **If the mother is AA (homozygous A) and the father is BO (heterozygous B)**, their offspring could be:
   - AB (inherits A from the mother and B from the father)
   - AO (inherits A from the mother and O from the father)

3. **If the mother is AO (heterozygous A) and the father is BB (homozygous B)**, their offspring could be:
   - AB (inherits A from the mother and B from the father)
   - BO (inherits B from the father and O from the mother)

4. **If the mother is AA (homozygous A) and the father is BB (homozygous B)**, their offspring will always be:
   - AB (inherits A from the mother and B from the father)

Therefore, the potential blood types for their offspring could be A (if AO or AA is passed on), B (if BO or BB is passed on), AB, or O, depending on the specific genotypes of the parents.
User: why are rhere 2 alleles
Assistant: In genetics, alleles are different versions of a gene. Typically, for each gene, an organism inherits two alleles, one from each parent. This is because most organisms, including humans, are diploid, meaning they have two sets of chromosomes—one set from the mother and one from the father.

In the context of blood type, the ABO blood group is determined by two alleles, which can be any combination of A, B, or O. The resulting combinations of these alleles (such as AA, AO, BB, BO, AB, or OO) determine a person's blood type. The presence of two alleles allows for genetic variation and the combination of different traits, contributing to the diversity within a population.
