Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
For blood transfusion between different species (like dog - dog is same species, but cat - dog, horse - horse is same species, but horse - cow is different), inter - species blood transfusion is generally not compatible because different species have different blood cell antigens, antibodies, and physiological systems. For same - species:
1. Dog (O - ) and dog (A + ): Dog blood types are different from human, but in general, for dogs, O - is a universal donor? No, dog blood typing is different (DEA system). But the question is about rejection. Since it's same species, but different blood types, the recipient (O - dog) getting A + blood: dog's immune system will recognize A antigen as foreign, so reject. So answer is No.
2. Cat (AB + ) and cat (B - ): Cats have their own blood typing (A, B, AB). AB + (in cat terms, AB blood type) can receive from B? Wait, cat blood: Type A cats have anti - B antibodies, Type B have strong anti - A antibodies, Type AB have no antibodies. So AB cat can receive from A or B. So AB + (assuming + is like Rh, but cat Rh is different, but if we consider AB blood type in cats), AB can receive from B. So maybe Yes? Wait, but the question is about rejection. If the donor is B - and recipient AB + (cat), since AB has no antibodies against A or B, it can accept. But maybe the question is using human - like blood typing for animals, which is incorrect, but assuming human - like: AB + can receive from B - (since AB can receive from A, B, AB; and - can give to +). So maybe Yes? But actually, animal blood typing is different. However, for the sake of the problem, let's go with human - like logic (even though it's inaccurate for animals).
3. Horse (A - ) and horse (O + ): Horses have different blood groups (over 30), but using human - like: A - can receive from O +? O + has A antigen? No, O has no A or B antigens, but has Rh +. A - has anti - Rh antibodies? Wait, A - has anti - D (Rh) antibodies. So O + has D antigen, so A - recipient will have anti - D, so reject O + blood. So answer is No.
4. Sow (B + ) and cow (AB - ): Different species (pig and cow), so immune system will reject foreign blood. So No.
5. Goat (AB - ) and goat (A - ): Goats have their own blood types, but using human - like: AB - can receive from A - (AB can receive from A, B, AB; - can give to - ). So AB - has no antibodies against A, so can accept A - blood. So Yes?
6. Rabbit (O + ) and rabbit (B + ): Rabbits have different blood typing, but human - like: O + has no A/B antigens, B + has B antigen. O + donating to B + : B + has anti - A antibodies, but O has no A, so B + can receive O +? Wait, O + has Rh +, B + has Rh +. B + has anti - A, but O has no A, so yes, B + can receive O +. So the donor is O +, recipient B +: O + can donate to B + (since O is universal donor for A, B, AB; and + can give to +). So Yes?
7. Offspring sheep (B - ) and mother sheep (O - ): Same species, sheep blood types. O - is universal donor in human, but sheep blood is different. But using human - like: O - has no A/B/Rh antigens, B - has B antigen and anti - A. O - can give to B - (since O has no A/B, so B - won't have anti - O antibodies). So Yes, mother (O - ) can give to offspring (B - ), so offspring can receive.
8. Pig (A + ) and horse (AB + ): Different species (pig and horse), so immune system will reject. So No.
9. Chicken (AB + ) and chicken (A + ): Chickens have nucleated red blood cells and different blood typing, but human - like: AB + can receive from A + (AB can receive from A, B, AB; + can give to +). So Yes?
10. Guinea pig (O - ) and guinea pig (O + ): Same species, O - has no A/B/Rh antigens, O + has Rh +. O - has anti - Rh antibodies? If we consider Rh factor, O - has anti - D, so O + has D antigen, so O - donating to O +? Wait, the question is donating from O - to O +? O - has anti - D, but when donating, the donor's blood has no anti - D (because anti - D is in plasma, and when donating, we give red blood cells). Wait, blood transfusion is usually red blood cells. O - red blood cells have no A/B/Rh antigens (wait, O - has no A, B, and Rh - ). O + red blood cells have Rh +. Wait, no: O - is Rh -, O + is Rh +. So O - red blood cells have no A, B, Rh antigens. O + red blood cells have Rh +. So when donating O - to O +: O + recipient has Rh +, but O - donor's red blood cells have no Rh antigen, so recipient's immune system won't recognize them as foreign (for Rh, since recipient is Rh +, it has no anti - Rh antibodies). And O - has no A/B antigens, so O + (which has no A/B antigens? Wait, O + has no A/B antigens, only Rh +. Wait, O blood has no A or B antigens, regardless of Rh. So O - and O + both have no A/B antigens, O - has Rh -, O + has Rh +. So O - donating to O +: the recipient's immune system (if it's Rh +, it has no anti - Rh antibodies), so it can accept O - blood (since O - has no A/B/Rh antigens that the O + recipient would react to). Wait, but O + has Rh +, but the donor is O -, which has Rh -. The recipient's immune system, being Rh +, doesn't have anti - Rh antibodies, so it can accept O - blood. So Yes?

But note: All these answers are based on incorrect application of human blood typing to animals, as each species has unique blood - group systems. However, for the problem's sake, we use human - like blood - typing logic.
