Blood type is determined by the antigens present on the surfaces of red blood cells. There are three types of antigen, A, B and Rhesus. O blood types have neither A or B antigens. A types have A, B have B, and AB have both. Positive blood types have rhesus antigens, and negative blood types do not.
Which antigens are produced is genetically determined.

You inherit one gene from each parent - an A, B, or O (neither).
A+A = A
A+O = A
A+B = AB
B+O = O
B+B = B
O+O = O
The same goes for the rH factor (+ or -). If you get a + from either or both parents you will be a + and if you get a - from both you will be a - .
