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.

Is there a difference between Rh neg blood group and a B neg blood group?
RH- and RH+ are not blood types, they are factors.
Difference Between blood group A plus ve and A-ve?
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-
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.
Why is the Rh factor especially important with a transfusion?
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.
What are the possible observations if blood sample provided is Rh positive instead of blood group B when blood group B is provided?
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.
Can a person with O blood group donates his blood to an A blood group?
O Rh- is the universal donor and AB Rh- is the universal recipient of all blood types.
How do you find out blood positivity or negativity?
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.
Can an individual with o blood group donates his blood to a blood group person?
O Rh- is the universal donor and AB Rh- is the universal recipient of all blood types.
Do blood group O with Rh plus can give blood to any blood group?
yes
What are rh negative blood groups?
it is a part of blood group. 95% people are Rh +ve, only 5% people are Rh negative.
Can blood group change from o rh- to another group?
no
