It really depends on what the other parents blood type is. One's Rh factor comes from both parents, one factor (for lack of a better word) from each parent. Someone who has a positive blood type has inherited either two positive factors from their parents (++), or one positive, one negative (+-) . Someone with a negative blood type has inherited two negative factors (--). SO...If one parent has a negative blood type (--), they could produce a child with a positive blood type if the other parent had a positive blood type, either (++) or (+-). If both parents are type negative (--), then technically it shouldn't happen that they would have a child with a positive blood type.

Pictures below to demonstrate:

Additional Information: The O blood type is caused by a dominant gene. Two genes for blood type are inherited by a child, one from each parent. Here are the combinations of the genes that can be inherited and the blood types that will result: O and (A or B or O) -> O A and A -> A A and B -> AB B and A -> AB B and B -> B The "positive" or "negative" part is a separate issue.

pos and pos -> pos pos and neg -> pos neg and pos -> pos neg and neg -> neg Keep in mind that a person may have type O blood, but have a recessive gene for type A or for type B that is being "hidden" by the O. The same goes for the positive/negative gene -- if you have a gene for positive, it will "hide" a gene that you may have for negative.

I have type A+ blood and my husband has O+ blood. Our son is A+, so obviously my husband's genes are for O and A. (Since I have type A blood, my genes are both for A.) Our daughter is A-. So both children got 2 genes for type A. Both of us must have the "one gene for positive/one gene for negative" situation. Our son got at least one gene for positive. Our daughter got both genes for negative.

Yes, if both the mother and the father are carriers of the recessive Rh negative trait, they can produce a child with O negative blood type. The child would inherit one Rh negative allele from each parent, resulting in a negative blood type.
