Rhesus positive (Rh+) refers to the presence of the Rh factor, a specific protein on the surface of red blood cells. Individuals with this protein are considered Rh positive, while those without it are Rh negative (Rh-). The Rh factor is important in blood transfusions and pregnancy, as incompatibility between Rh+ and Rh- blood types can lead to serious health issues. Approximately 85% of people of European descent and 95% of people of African descent are Rh positive.
What else can I help you with?
Can the baby of an O rhesus positive and a A rhesus negative parent be A rhesus positive?
no cause a positive and negative make a negative unless the positive has a really strong blood line
B Rhesus Positive Anti-P1 negative?
B rhesus positive anti-P1 negative
What types of blood can a receive?
Type O or type A broadly speaking. it also depends on other proteins found on the surface of donated blood cells such as rhesus proteins. someone can be rhesus plus or rhesus minus meaning they either have the protein or don't. You can only receive blood of the same rhesus type of as your own for example: A rhesus positive can only receive A rhesus positive or O rhesus positive
What blood types would your parents have to be to have a child with A positive blood type?
Discounting rare but possible mutations the following holds true. Parents blood groups A and A, A and B, A and O, B and B, B and O, O and O can produce type O blood in their children. The rhesus factor (Rhesus positive/rhesus negative) depends on the rhesus pairing in the parents as follows: Father rhesus positive, mother rhesus positive or rhesus negative = rhesus positive or rhesus negative Father rhesus negative, mother rhesus positive = rhesus positive or rhesus negative Father rhesus negative, mother rhesus negative = rhesus negative Example: A rhesus positive father and rhesus positive mother of blood type A and O respectively could produce an O positive child, as could a rhesus positive father and rhesus negative mother both of blood group O.

If two parents have A-negative and O-negative bloodtypes is it possible for their child to be A-positive?
No. Two rhesus-negative parents cannot have a rhesus-positive child.
What are four phenotypes of human blood?
The most commonly referred to are A, B, AB and O. Others include rhesus-positive and rhesus-negative.
What is 3 kinds of blood?
1) Rhesus positive 2) Rhesus negative 3) A 4) B 5) AB 6) O
What 3 kinds of blood?
1) Rhesus positive 2) Rhesus negative 3) A 4) B 5) AB 6) O
What is the different rhesus groups?
if you are talking about blood then I think it's positive and negative.
Can blood be either B positive or negative?
Not exactly. Human blood may have positive (ca. 80%) or negative (remaining 20%) Rhesus factor. It means that that a substance known as Rhesus factor is either found or not in a human blood test. Transfusion of "positive" blood to a "negative" recipient may result in very negative consequences (but not vise versa) . A problem known as Rhesus conflict may arise when a Rhesus-negative woman is pregnant with a Rhesus-positive baby.The name Rhesus factor comes from Rhesus monkey in which it was first found.
What blood type will the child be with parents blood type O positive father and mother O positive?
The baby can only be an O Blood Group as both parents can only be carrying 'O' type genes. The baby would have a 75% chance of being an O positive and a 25% chance of being an O negative. This is because the mother can only pass on a Rhesus negative gene but the father might either have two Rhesus positive genes or one Rhesus positive and one Rhesus negative. If the first is true the child will only be O positive, if the second is true it could be O positive or O negative depending on which gene the father passes.
Why does haemolytic disease of the newborn not occur in rhesus positive mothers with a rhesus negative baby?
HDN only occurs in rhesus negative women who have been sensitized by positive blood. Rhesus positive mother can have a rhesus negative baby. In rhesus positive group, they have the antigen Rh. When this antigen from baby enters mother's blood circulation, because of inutero bleed in pregnancy; mother's blood cells will react to the foreign antigen and produce antibodies which are harmful to the baby's blood cells when they cross the placenta and enter baby's blood stream. These antibodies will break baby's blood cells down causing haemolytic disease. Whereas in rhesus positive mother with negative baby, if baby's blood enters mother's circultaion it will not produce any antibodies as there are no antigens in Rh negative blood. And if mother's blood mixes with baby's blood in the womb, baby will not have the ability to produce antibodies as their immune system is not developed. So there is no chance for haemolytic disease.
