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 is the difference between negative and positive blood type A?
The Rhesus factor, also known as the Rh factor, is an antigen that exists on the surface of red blood cells. People who have the Rhesus factor are considered to have a positive blood type. Those who don't have the antigen are considered to have a negative blood type.
Is A negative blood the same as A Rhesus Negative?
No, A negative blood refers to the absence of the A antigen on red blood cells, while Rhesus negative (Rh-) refers to the absence of the Rh antigen. A person can be A negative and Rh positive or A negative and Rh negative.
How can doctors determine positive or negative blood types.?
Doctors determine positive or negative blood types by testing for the presence or absence of a specific protein called the Rh factor on the surface of red blood cells. A positive blood type indicates the presence of this protein, while a negative blood type indicates its absence. This information is important for blood transfusions and pregnancy monitoring.
What is the baby blood group if husband is A- and wife O plus?
The baby could have blood type A+ or A-. The Rh factor (positive or negative) is determined by the father's blood type, while the ABO blood group (A, B, O, AB) is a combination of both parents' blood types in this case.
How common is a negative blood?
No, only 7% of the world has O negative blood type.We couldn't say our blood type a negative without testing.It has been found that the most common blood types are the Rhesus factor positive or all the positive blood types like A+, B+, AB+ and O+. When compared with their respective negative counterparts, the percentage of the positive blood types is more than that of the negative ones. That is, nearly 85% of the world population have Rhesus positive blood type, while only a mere 15% have Rhesus negative blood type.

Can two people with blood group o negative have a child with blood group o positive?
Of course, but there are many more complications than if you were to have a child with a man with one of the negative blood types. After a miscarriage, or abortion you have to have a shot called Rhogam. If you become pregnant by a positive type person, you will also need to have the shot while pregnant. Then after the babys birth. There are ways around getting the shot DURING the pregnancy. The main one would be to make 100% sure that the baby has a negative blood type. That is the most important thing here.
What is the difference between negative and positive blood types?
Negative and Positive blood types refer to the presence of the Rhesus D (RhD) antigen. Rhesus is the second main blood group typing after the A,B,O system. e.g. AB+ means the blood cells have A and B and RhD antigens present on the blood cell surface. O- means that A and B and RhD antigens are not present on the surface of the blood cell.
Blood positive or negative sol?
Blood type can be positive (+) or negative (-) based on the presence or absence of the Rh factor. A person with Rh factor is considered Rh positive, while a person without it is considered Rh negative. Blood type, on the other hand, refers to the ABO system (A, B, AB, O).
What is a group of atoms with with a positive or negative charge?
