Type O blood is found in only 7% of Caucasians, 3-4% of Africans and less than 1% of Asians.

It is much more prevalent in people whose ancestry is predominantly European. About 45% of Europeans have it.

What is the blood type which is considered 'royal?

Anybody can possess the Rh O-Negative, alias the 'Royal Blood', as it is not restricted to royalties.The royal blood is a specific blood group. It is the Rh O-Negative. It is a very rare group. So rare that when it was discovered to be running in the veins of a royal family and their descendants, it was named the 'Royal Blood'. Anybody can possess the Rh O-Negative, alias the 'Royal Blood', as it is not restricted to royalties.The Rh O-Negative is a Universal Donor, i.e. someone possessing this blood group can donate his/her blood to anyone, irrespective of their blood groups. This is a sort of blessing, as you can save anybody. The big problem with it is that the Rh O-Negative recipient can only receive blood of Rh O-Neg type which is, as I said before, very rare.


Can a person with o neg blood give blood to a rh neg person?

The negative in "O Negative" means that it's Rh negative, meaning that anyone, either positive or negative can receive that Rh type. O negative blood can be given to anyone. It's the Universal Donor.


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.


Can you be O blood type and Rh negative"?

No, O blood type is always Rh positive.


Why is o negative blood group rare?

O negative blood group is rare because it lacks the A, B, and Rh antigens present in most other blood types. Only 7% of the population has O negative blood, making it less common and in high demand for blood transfusions since it can be safely transfused to individuals with any blood type.


Is it rare for an A positive parent and an O positive parent to have an A negative child?

It's rare, but can easily be explained by genetics. The A positive parent could be AA or AO for blood group, and the O positive parent would have to be OO for blood group. Both parents would have to be heterozygous for rh factor, Rh+ Rh- . So the A negative child would have to have inherited an A and O allele from the parents, and an Rh- allele from both parents. This gives the phenotype of A negative.


What do you mean by Rh o negative blood type?

It is simply your blood type. You receive blood alleles from your parents. One of them must have been type A or AB, and must have been type negative. It also means you can donate blood to people type A+ or AB+. You can only receive blood from people A+, A-, O+, or O-.


Can a O negative parent and an RH O negative parent make a positive baby?

No, if both parents are O negative (meaning they do not have the Rh antigen), they cannot have a Rh positive baby. RH positive blood type requires the presence of the Rh antigen when processing blood types.

What are the possible blood types the baby could have if the mother is type O-positive and the father has the rh-negative blood type?

The baby's blood type would depend on the specific genotype of both parents. With a mother who is O-positive and a father who is Rh-negative, the baby could potentially have blood types A-negative, B-negative, AB-negative, or O-negative.


Is Rh negative the same as a negative?

Rhesus negative is one of the major two variants in blood typing (the other obviously being Rh positive). For example, people refer to themselves as "A+", "O-" or "AB-". There is nothing wrong with having it.
