2. How many blood types do humans have?

3. The highest temperature ever recorded on earth was ______________.

Answers:

1. The new generation born between 2010 and 2024 is called Generation Alpha. 

-Members of Generation Alpha are also often called Screenagers as they are born in a time where technical gadgets are readily available and grow up with the gadgets. 

-The screenagers are said to possess great technical skills and are able to make their way out of any technical crisis in no time! This is because they have been using the technical gadgets since they are born. 

-Also, according to a survey, many children (of the new generation, of course!) in the US get their first technical gadget (which is usually an iPad) by the time they are 2!

2. Humans have 4 main blood types - A, B, AB and O; based on the antigens present on the surface of the red blood cells of the body.

-There are two different types of antigens - A and B.

-So, people having antigen A on the surface of their red blood cells, will have blood type A.

-And, people having antigen B on the surface of their red blood cells, will have blood type B.

-While, people having both the A and B antigens on the surface of their red blood cells will have blood type AB.

-And, people having neither of A nor B antigens on the surface of their red blood cells will have blood type O.

-There is one more antigen system in our cells - the RH factor.

-So, people having the RH antigens present on the surface of their red blood cells, are RH positive.

-While, people not having the RH antigens are RH negative.

-Hence, there are in total 8 blood groups : A+, A-, B+, B-, AB+, AB-, O+ and O-. 

3. The highest temperature ever recorded on earth was 56.7 degree Celsius (134 degree Fahrenheit).

-It was recorded on 10th July 1913 at Greenland Ranch, Death Valley, California, USA.
