?3mystery  What is blood type?

The four blood types (A, B, AB, and O) are based on               That
the ABO blood group system.                                  covers it!

The ABO blood group system classifies types accord-
ing to the differences between certain sugar chains
on the surface of red blood cells.

So far, no real evidence has been found to support
the idea that the differences in sugar chains affect
personality, so don’t let those fortune-tellers boss
you around!

Still, blood type                                            Let’s see, you’re Type A,
