Rh is an antigen. If you have the antigen, your blood type is A+, B+, AB+, or O+. If you don't have the antigen, your blood type is A-, B-, AB-, or O-.
People WITH the Rh antigen, can receive from/give to people with Rh+ or Rh-.
People WITHOUT the Rh antigen, can ONLY receive from/give to people with Rh- blood. (meaning people without the antigen)
If Rh- and Rh+ blood comes in contact, the Rh- will produce antibodies towards Rh+, and at the second contact with the blood, will cause agglutination.

What is the Rh blood group named after?
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.
What does rh mean in sheet music?
It stands for Right Hand
What chemical does Rh stand for?
Rh is the chemical symbol for rhodium.If you meant "Rh" as in "Rh factor" in blood, it doesn't stand for a chemical. It stands for "rhesus", the kind of monkey (actually a macaque) the researchers who initially discovered it used to produce the serum.
What blood factors make a b negative?
RH factor in blood types stands for "Rhesus Factor". Blood tests were performed on Rhesus monkeys and the Rh+ and Rh- factors were isolated. An antigen found in the red blood cells of most people: those who have Rh factor are said to be Rh positive (Rh+), while those who do not are Rh negative (Rh-). What about the meaning of RHD- Rh blood group, D antigen . The rhesus complex is not just one antigen, but several, when someone is told to be Rh+, it usually refers to the D antigen (one of the components of the Rh complex), because it's the most common, and the easiest to identify, however it's not the only one.
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 -
Is the phenotype which determine RH?
Genotype determines the rh phenotype. The two alleles for rh factor are rh+ (rh positive) and rh- (rh negative). The rh+ allele is dominant.
If a father has O negative blood and the mother is a positive what would the child be?
Father is Rh-Rh-Positive blood type has two options so mother could be Rh+Rh+ or Rh+Rh- and so :Rh-Rh- X Rh+Rh+all kids will be positivethe second option isRh-Rh- X Rh+Rh-50% of the kids will be negativethe other 50% will be positive.
You have type O plus why does your father have O negative?
there is no problem with that, your Rh+ comes from your mother :) ur father genotype is Rh-Rh- your mother should be Rh+Rh+ or Rh+Rh- so you took one Rh- from your father and one Rh+ from your mother the result will be Rh+Rh- and because the +ve propriety is more dominant your blood type will be +ve even if you have the mix of Rh+Rh-
Monther is A positive and father is is B negative what make a child ab negative possible?
There are two genes that controll the traits. Since Rh+ is a dominant character, it could be expresssed even in the hterzygous condition. But Rh- could be expressed in the homozygous recessive conditions also. The father is Rh+ that means he could be either Rh+Rh+ or he could be Rh+Rh- and the mother is Rh-Rh-. The father should be Rh+Rh- type. So the gametes formed are of type Rh+and Rh-. When the Rh- gamete of male combine with the of Rh- female gamete the offspring is Rh-, with genotype Rh-Rh-.
When the Father type O negative and mother A positive what type of blood will the baby have?
in science the positive blood type has two Geno-types :Rh+ Rh- or Rh+Rh+and the negative blood type has only one Geno-type :Rh- Rh-there are 3 possibilities :Rh + Rh- X Rh - Rh- 50% of kids will be Rh+ 50% will be Rh-Rh+ Rh+ X Rh - Rh- 100% of kids will be Rh+Rh+ Rh- x Rh+ Rh- either possibility exists in theory 25% could be Rh -
If a Mother is A positive blood group and a Father is A positive blood group can they have a child that is O negative blood group?
That is always possible if both the parents are heterozygous for Rh antigen gene. It means that both the parents. There are 2 different alleles for the Rh factor known as Rh+ and Rh-.Someone who is "Rh positive" or "Rh+" has at least one Rh+ allele, but could have two. Their genotype could be either Rh+/Rh+ or Rh+/Rh-. Someone who Rh- has a genotype of Rh-/Rh-. If their genotypes are Rh+/Rh-, then their is possibility of of Rh- also.Rh factorPossible genotypesRh+Rh+/Rh+Rh+/Rh-Rh-Rh-/Rh-Prof. A.L. Bhatiahttp://www.competition-india.blogspot.com/http://www.albhatia.inType O blood is also recessive to type A, so both parents could be heterozygous type A's. Their genotypes would have to be A/O.
Can a neg mother and b neg father produce a o neg?
the geno type for O- is ( ii Rh-Rh- ) the geno type for B- is ( IBIB Rh-Rh- ) or ( IBi Rh-Rh-) they can have a child with O type if the genes was (ii Rh-Rh-) and (IBi Rh-Rh-) in a 50%. but they can't have an (O+) because both parents are Rh(negative).
