Is O+ blood most common in american indian blood?

Question

because im cherokee and apache partly alot and i have O+ my mother and grandfather and thats the indian line of my blood and most people say i look most like that line and all is this true.......

Answer 1

Yes, i hear that it is. I have cherokee blood and im O+.
O is the most common blood type i think

Answer 2

O positive is the universal donor blood type. It is the most common. I dont know if there has ever been a study of which Indian tribes had what blood. O positive is pretty common. AB positive accounts for only about 4% of the blood out there. A, B.. and any of the others in negative rhesus cover the rest of the spectrum. I happen to be AB +. This is a blessing when donating but not so good when you need it.

Bloodlines for any specific group of indigenous or any other group is kind of iffy in any event since man's movement all over the planet has " thinned out" any pure blood. Kinship to any group is better of determined by DNA

Answer 3

According to the American Red Cross:

"O+ is the most common blood type. Not all racial and ethnic groups have the same mix of these blood types. Hispanic people, for example, have a relatively high number of O’s, while Asian people have a relatively high number of B’s.

The mix of the different blood types in the U.S. population is:

White------ Afr.Am--- Hispanic --Asian
O + 37% ---47%------- 53%------ --39%
O - 8% ------4%-------- 4%---------- 1%
A + 33% ---24%------- 29% --------27%
A - 7% ------2%--------- 2%---------- 0.5%
B + 9%----- 18%-------- 9%--------- 25%
B - 2%------ 1%---------- 1%--------- 0.4%
AB + 3%--- 4%----------- 2%---------7%
AB - 1%---- 0.3%-------- 0.2% ------0.1% "

[Although O+ blood type is also common in Asians (39% have it), they have higher numbers of people with B+ blood than any of the groups listed (25% have it).]

They do not give specifics about american indians though but whether your blood type is A, B, AB or O, is based on the blood types of your mother and father.

IMO Your bloodtype does not have to do with your physical looks. Although you may favor your mother more than father based on a mix and differentation of genes and DNA.
