What else can I help you with?
Can a 0 positive mother and a A negative father have a A Rh's negative child?
Yes. The mother would have to have a heterozygous Rh genotype, so that she could pass on an Rh negative allele to her offspring.
If male has type a and female has type ab what are the possible blood types of their offspring?
The blood type will be the same as one of the parents or a combination, so A or AB. If the parents both have the same Rh factor (+ or -) the baby will have that factor, else it could also be either. The risky situation at birth is where the baby's Rh factor is not the same as the mother's.
Can a baby be born with positive blood if both parents are negative?
No. If both parents are Rh negative, they are homozygous recessive for the Rh factor and can only pass on recessive alleles to their children, and a positive Rh factor is a dominant trait.
Can a baby have B negative blood if the mother is B positive and the father is A negative?
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.
Can rh factor negative blood skip a generation and if so are there any documented evidence to verify?
Yes, Rh factor negative blood can skip a generation due to the inheritance pattern of the Rh factor gene. The Rh factor is determined by a dominant (Rh+) and recessive (Rh-) allele, meaning that two Rh- parents will always produce Rh- offspring, but an Rh+ parent can carry either one Rh+ or one Rh- allele, potentially passing on the negative trait. This genetic variability can lead to Rh- individuals appearing in subsequent generations even if they were not present in the immediate previous one. Documented evidence includes genetic studies that illustrate how recessive traits can be inherited across generations.
What are Rh Factor?
The Rh factor is a protein that can be present on the surface of red blood cells. If someone has the Rh factor on their red blood cells, they are considered Rh positive. If they do not have the Rh factor, they are considered Rh negative.
Can a child born with rh negative blood type be the offspring of an o positive father?
It depends on the genotype of the Rh+ parent. If that person is heterozygous, then yes there is a 50% chance of an Rh- baby.Father's Group (negative)Mother's Group (positive heterozygous)Rh +Rh -Rh -Rh +, Rh -Rh -, Rh -Rh -Rh +, Rh -Rh - Rh -http://www.bloodbook.com/inherited.htmlIf the positive parent is homozygous, the baby will be positive:Father's Group (negative)Mother's Group (positive homozygous)Rh +Rh +Rh -Rh +, Rh -Rh +, Rh -Rh -Rh +, Rh -Rh + Rh -
The thing factor is an antigen that can cause problems in some women who bear more than one offspring?
The "thing factor" likely refers to the Rh factor, specifically the RhD antigen, which can lead to complications in pregnancies with Rh incompatibility. If an Rh-negative mother carries an Rh-positive baby, her immune system may produce antibodies against the Rh factor, potentially affecting subsequent pregnancies. This can result in conditions such as hemolytic disease of the newborn if not properly managed. It's crucial for Rh-negative women to receive appropriate care during and after pregnancy to prevent these issues.
Do erythrocytes contain rh factor?
Yes, erythrocytes (red blood cells) can contain the Rh factor, which is a specific protein on their surface. The presence or absence of the Rh factor distinguishes between Rh-positive and Rh-negative blood types. If an individual has the Rh factor, they are considered Rh-positive; if they lack it, they are Rh-negative. This classification is important in blood transfusions and pregnancy.
Where did RH factor get its name?
The rh blood factor was first observed in Rhesus monkeys
Can your Rh factor change over time?
No, your Rh factor does not change over time.
What happens if a woman is heterozygous Rh positive and her child's father is hemozygous Rh negative?
There is a 50% that offspring will be Rh negative.
