I think Rh is not a blood group. Rh stands for a factor and derived its name from factor found in the blood of Rhesus monkey.
RH- and RH+ are not blood types, they are factors.
Rh factor or rehsus factor is also involved in blood groups. either a person is Rh+ or Rh- if u are A+ then u have blood group A and you are Rh+ if you are A- then you have blood group A and you are Rh-
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.
In all the four basic blood groups there exist two sub-groups called Rh (+ve) and Rh (-ve). The people with the Rh (+ve) blood group have an additional "Rh" facto or the "Rhesus" factor (so named because it was first observed and discovered in the Rhesus monkeys). Whereas the people who do not have the 'Rh' factor are said to have Rh (-ve) blood as in B (-ve) etc. While blood transfusion it is very important to check the "Rh-compatibility" of blood of the donor and that of the recipient, because transfusion of Rh +ve blood to a person with anegative blood group leads to agglutination(clumping) of blood cells thus resulting in death of the person. But it must be noted that transfusion of Rh -ve blood to a person with positive blood group does not harm the recipient.
Question doesn't make sense. You can be group B and rh + or group B and rh -. The B antigen and the D antigen (which causes you to be rh+ or lack of makes you rh-) are seperate things stuck to the surface of red blood cells.
O Rh- is the universal donor and AB Rh- is the universal recipient of all blood types.
We can find out our blood positivity or negativity by RH-antigen.if RH-antigen is available in the blood then the blood group will be positive and if it is not available in the blood then the blood group will be Negative.
O Rh- is the universal donor and AB Rh- is the universal recipient of all blood types.
yes
it is a part of blood group. 95% people are Rh +ve, only 5% people are Rh negative.
It depends. If the mother is heterozygous rh+ rh- for the rh blood type, then the baby could inherit an rh- allele from both parents, and then it would be rh negative.
