Most Americans are Rh positive.
Are most Americans Rh positive or Rh Negative
According to my book, PhysioEX 8.0 for Human Physiology, Americans are 85% Rh positive.
yes
We are looking for the possible blood types of a baby.Parental information:Mother type O pos = can only be OO with Rh (++) or (+-): Genes O, (+), (-)Father type O pos = can only be OO with Rh (++) or (+-): Genes O, (+), (-)Baby recieves one gene from each parent, making the baby either:Type O, Rh Postive [ OO, Rh (++ or +-) ]Type O, Rh Negative [ OO, Rh (--) ]Therefore answer is NO. Since the parents are both O type, which is recessive, they cannot give an A or B gene since they do not have any.
RH negative
Positive.
The average percentage of Rh negative individuals worldwide is about 15%, but it is an average. It ranges from 35% in the Basques of Spain to 1 - 2% among Native Americans.
AB negative is a RH negative blood type.
You would give them A Rh Negative blood or you could also give them O Rh Negative as well. Group O is the universal donor so it can be given to anyone. If the patient is Rh Negative, they can only receive Rh Negative blood. If the patient was Rh positive, they can receive Rh positive or Rh negative.
Yes. The mother would have to have a heterozygous Rh genotype, so that she could pass on an Rh negative allele to her offspring.
Either. We know the mother is homozygous recessive rh- rh- for rh factor, so she can only pass on an rh negative allele to a child. However, if the father is heterozygous rh+ rh- for rh factor, he could pass on one of those two alleles to a child. If he passes on the rh+ (dominant) allele, the baby would be rh positive. If he passes on the rh- allele, the baby would be rh negative.
The percentage varies according to race. About 85% of Americans have Rh+ blood. In China, the percentage is over 99%. The worldwide percentage is about 90%.
