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 -


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.


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-


Can an Rh positive mother and Rh positive father produce an Rh positive baby?

It MAY be possible but more information is needed about the father. If he is Rh positive then he can be Rh+Rh- or Rh+Rh+.If the Rh positive father has one Rh+ and one Rh- allele, then 50% of his children will get Rh+ from him (and Rh- from the mother) to be Rh positive, and 50% will get Rh- from him (and Rh- from the mother) to be Rh negative.So if father is Rh+Rh- and mother is Rh-Rh-:50% children Rh+Rh- (positive - may cause problems if it is the second child)50% children Rh-Rh- (negative - will be no problems with a Rh- mother)BUT if the Rh positive father is Rh+Rh+ then all of his children with a Rh+ from him and Rh- from the mother. In this case all children will be Rh positive.So if the father is Rh+Rh+ and the mother is Rh-Rh-:100% children Rh+Rh- (positive - may cause problems if it is the second child)Hope this is helpful.


Is the phenotype which determine RH?

The phenotype that determines the Rh factor in blood is based on the presence or absence of the specific protein antigens on the surface of red blood cells. A person can be either Rh positive (having the protein) or Rh negative (lacking the protein) based on their genetic inheritance.

What color tube is needed for Direct Combs RH test?

The Direct Combs RH test typically requires a lavender/purple top tube, which contains EDTA anticoagulant to prevent blood coagulation. This type of tube is used for collecting blood samples for hematology tests, including the Direct Coombs test.


What color is the tube that blood is drawn for a ABO and Rh factor test?

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.


Why would you use the amnicentesis test?

Amniocentesis is used for diagnosing foetal infections, Rh incompatibility, and chromosomal abnormalties and neural tube defects of the foetus


Why no positive control is used in rh blood group test?

No positive control is used in the Rh blood group test because it tests the presence or absence of A and/or B antigens.


Father has b positive and mother has a negative what will baby have?

The only way to tell is to have a blood test done, it is possible to guess but the only way to be exactly sure is with a blood test. It all depends on Antigens and Antibodies on the blood cells themselves.


How can one determine the Rh factor in blood?

The Rh factor in blood can be determined through a blood test that specifically looks for the presence of the Rh antigen on the surface of red blood cells. This test is commonly done during routine blood typing procedures.


What causes the production of Rh antibodies?

Exposure to the Rh (or D) antigen. Most common in mothers who are Rh- who have a child that is Rh+. The mothers immune system will produce Rh antibodies and the blood cells of the NEXT Rh+ baby could be attacked during birth. Rh- mothers are given Rhogam to prevent this from happening. I know this is more than you asked for but every test question dealing with Rh asks something about this it is commonly called hemolytic disease of the newborn


Should I use RH or RC on the Nest thermostat?

When setting up a Nest thermostat, use the RH wire if you have a heating system, and use the RC wire if you have a cooling system.

Can a black person be rh negative?

The Black Cochin Jewish population has a high percentage of Rh-negative blood but the Rh-negative blood type is uncommon in the Black population in general, which is exactly the same interesting phenomenon as with the Oriental Jews of Israel who have a high percentage of Rh-negative blood, where among the Chinese and Japanese, Rh-negative blood type it is almost nonexistent.


If you have Rh negative blood type do you need to get TB testing?

Whether you have Rh Negative blood or Rh Positive blood has nothing to do with getting a TB test. TB testing should be done at least once a year which will show whether or not you have been exposed to Tuberculosis.


How do you know what your RH factor is?

you can ask for a simple blood type test. Whether your blood type is A, AB, O, or B, they always say if you're A/B/O/AB positive or negative, for example. The positivity is whether you have the Rh factor or not( which is just a protein on all red blood cells), in simple terms. It's just a protein or glycoprotein that either your blood has been exposed to, or not. If you are Rh negative, that means you can ONLY be transfused with blood that is also RH negative, or else your body will mount a severe immune attack on the transfused blood. That's part of the reason why O Negative blood is the universal blood donor type.
