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.
RH- and RH+ are not blood types, they are factors.
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 -
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.
The Rh blood group is determined by a single gene with two alleles-- positive and negative. The positive (Rh+) allele is dominant, so persons who are Rh+/Rh+ or Rh+/Rh- are said to be Rh-positive. Individuals with two Rh- alleles are Rh-negative. Citation Hall, Prentice "Biology" Upper Saddle River, New Jersey, 2002 Page 344 in human genes subtitle, blood group genes subsection , paragraph 2
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.
The tube used for ABO and Rh factor testing typically has a lavender or purple stopper. This tube contains a specific anticoagulant to prevent blood from clotting during testing.
Red test tubes are typically used for the blood type Rh factor test.
it is a part of blood group. 95% people are Rh +ve, only 5% people are Rh negative.
I assume what you are talking about is D antigen in Rh (Rhesus) blood group system. Rh blood group system is the most important blood group system after ABO blood group system (i.e. type A (AA, AO), type AB, type B (BB, BO), type O (OO) ). The Rh blood group system consists of 50 defined blood-group antigens and the 5 antigens D, C, c, E, and e are the most important. The commonly-used terms Rh factor, Rh positive and Rh negative refer to the D antigen only. Rh factor (Rh- and Rh + depending on D antigen neg/pos) is important for blood transfusion and prevention of hemolytic disease of the newborn or erythroblastosis fetalis (basically the baby and mom have different blood type - Rh- and Rh+ and cause severe immune response - fatal to the newborn)
No - blood group O is recessive, two O parents can only produce an O child. A Rh+ mother and Rh- father can produce either a Rh+ or Rh- child - Rh+ is the dominant factor. No - blood group O is recessive, two O parents can only produce an O child. A Rh+ mother and Rh- father can produce either a Rh+ or Rh- child - Rh+ is the dominant factor.
