Type O blood is found in only 7% of Caucasians, 3-4% of Africans and less than 1% of Asians.
It is much more prevalent in people whose ancestry is predominantly European. About 45% of Europeans have it.

∙ 15y agoO- Blood isn't rare AB+ is the most rare. It just happens to be most useful. Any blood type accepts O-, that is what makes it so special. You see if a person with Type A blood receives Type B it is rejected, but if the same Type A person gets O- it will not.

Is Rh negative the same as a negative?
Rhesus negative is one of the major two variants in blood typing (the other obviously being Rh positive). For example, people refer to themselves as "A+", "O-" or "AB-". There is nothing wrong with having it.
Is blood type rh o negative rare?
RH negative is not very rare, and it is a blood grouping system not a type. Whether your blood is Rh or not depends on the D-antigen in your blood. Rh is the second most important blood grouping system after ABO.
If the mother has A positive blood and the father has O positive blood Would their child have A negative blood type?
get a bandana get beat up get money wear red. from saahir larosa = Answer = I'm going to say this in a sense that you have some clue about what I'm about to say. The child CAN indeed have a blood type of A negative, because the mother's Rh is Rr which is still considered Rh+ because the "R" is dominant over "r". If the father has the same Rh, the child has 25% of being Rh-(without doing dihybrid cross).
Why is o negative blood group rare?
It is rare because only 15% of the world has O negative blood.
What do you mean by Rh o negative blood type?
It is simply your blood type. You receive blood alleles from your parents. One of them must have been type A or AB, and must have been type negative. It also means you can donate blood to people type A+ or AB+. You can only receive blood from people A+, A-, O+, or O-.
What is the blood type which is considered 'royal?
Anybody can possess the Rh O-Negative, alias the 'Royal Blood', as it is not restricted to royalties.The royal blood is a specific blood group. It is the Rh O-Negative. It is a very rare group. So rare that when it was discovered to be running in the veins of a royal family and their descendants, it was named the 'Royal Blood'. Anybody can possess the Rh O-Negative, alias the 'Royal Blood', as it is not restricted to royalties.The Rh O-Negative is a Universal Donor, i.e. someone possessing this blood group can donate his/her blood to anyone, irrespective of their blood groups. This is a sort of blessing, as you can save anybody. The big problem with it is that the Rh O-Negative recipient can only receive blood of Rh O-Neg type which is, as I said before, very rare.
What blood group is given to someone who is RH negative blood group A?
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.
Is it rare for an A positive parent and an O positive parent to have an A negative child?
It's rare, but can easily be explained by genetics. The A positive parent could be AA or AO for blood group, and the O positive parent would have to be OO for blood group. Both parents would have to be heterozygous for rh factor, Rh+ Rh- . So the A negative child would have to have inherited an A and O allele from the parents, and an Rh- allele from both parents. This gives the phenotype of A negative.
Can a person with o neg blood give blood to a rh neg person?
The negative in "O Negative" means that it's Rh negative, meaning that anyone, either positive or negative can receive that Rh type. O negative blood can be given to anyone. It's the Universal Donor.
What types of blood can a person with Type A receive?
Consideration must be given to whether or not the person is Rh positive or Rh negative. A person with blood type A positivecan receive A positive, A negative, O positiveand O negative blood. A person with A negative blood can only receive A negative and O negative blood.
Is rh negative blood compatible with o positive?
can two o positive blood types make an RH Negitive baby
Can a father o positive and a mother o negative have a son o negative?
Yes. For the child to be O negative, he must have inherited an O from each of his parents and an Rh negative from each parent. This is possible with an O positive parent and an A positive parent. Blood type O can only be in the form OO (an O from each parent). Blood type A can be either AA (an A from each parent) or AO (an A from one parent and an O from the other) since A is dominant over O. So, if one parent is the AO variety of A, an O can be given. Thus, two Os can be given if one parent is blood type O and the other is blood type A, causing blood type O in the child. Rh positive can be either two Rh positives (a positive from each parent) or one Rh positive and one Rh negative since Rh positive is dominant over RH negative. Rh negative can only be two Rh negatives. If each Rh positive parent is the combination of one Rh positive and one Rh negative, they can each give an Rh negative to the child.
What type of blood types can receive O?
It depends on what blood component is to be transfused. If O, Rh negative whole blood is to be given, the patient may be O, Rh negative or O, Rh positive. If O, Rh negative red cells are to be transfused, the patient may be any blood type (generally).
Is Rh negative the same as a negative?
Rhesus negative is one of the major two variants in blood typing (the other obviously being Rh positive). For example, people refer to themselves as "A+", "O-" or "AB-". There is nothing wrong with having it.
If a father has o negative blood and a mother has 0 positive blood what type of blood would baby have?
Whether or not blood is "positive" or "negative" is determined by the presence of Rh factors in the blood. If Rh factors are present, the blood is positive. Rh factors are a dominant trait to the lack thereof (having negative blood), but whether or not they are inherited in this case depends on the genotype of the O+ parent. If he or she is heterozygous for Rh factors, there is a 50% chance that the child will have O+ blood. If he or she is homozygous for Rh factors, the child will have O+ blood.
What is an rh negative blood type?
A true rh negative blood type can receive blood for the universal donor known as type O. There would be no negative consequences of such sharing happening.
Is blood type rh o negative rare?
RH negative is not very rare, and it is a blood grouping system not a type. Whether your blood is Rh or not depends on the D-antigen in your blood. Rh is the second most important blood grouping system after ABO.
