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 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.
If you know your blood type you know about the RH factor But why is it called RH?
The term "RH" stands for Rhesus factor, named after the Rhesus macaque monkey in whose blood the factor was first discovered in 1937. The RH factor refers to a specific protein present on the surface of red blood cells that can affect blood compatibility in transfusions and pregnancy.
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 -
What does the rh stand for in rh chair?
They are the initials of the founder of RH chairs.RH Chairs was established by Rolf Holstensson in 1977 in Bodafors, in the Småland region of Sweden. Today they are established in Norway, Denmark, Finland, United Kingdom, France and the Netherlands, in addition to Sweden. They are one of Europe's leading manufacturers of ergonomic seating.
Where did the rh antigen get it name?
The Rh antigen got its name from the Rhesus monkey, in which it was first discovered in the early 1940s. Researchers were studying the blood of these monkeys and identified the antigen that could cause immune reactions. The "Rh" stands for "Rhesus," and it has since become a critical component in blood typing and transfusions in humans.
Is it more common to be Rh- or Rh plus?
Rh positive is more common than Rh negative. Approximately 85% of the population is Rh positive.
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-.
