The terms "positive" or "negative" refer to either the presence or absence of the RhD (Rhesus D) antigen. Individuals either have, or do not have, the Rhesus factor (or Rhesus D antigen) on the surface of their red blood cells. This is usually indicated by 'RhD positive' (does have the RhD antigen) or 'RhD negative' (does not have the antigen).

A person who is O can only have genotype OO.
If a person with AO mates with OO, they could have AO (type A), or OO (type O).
If a person with AA mates with OO, they can only have AO (type A).
So in the above example, since we don't know exactly what kind of A one parent is, they could have either a baby with type O or A.
The baby could be either + or -.

∙ 10y agoThe difference between blood types has to do with the type of antigens on the red blood cells (RBC's) and the type of antibodies present in the blood. For example, type A blood has the A antigen on the RBC, and the B antibody present in the blood. It is the opposite for type B. Type AB has both A and B antigens on the RBC and there are no antibodies present. This is for this reason why a person with type AB blood can accept any type of blood into their body (it is called the universal receiver) but can only give blood to a person with type AB blood.
