What element symbol does si stand for?

'si' does stand for any chemical element!!!!! If you mean 'Si', then it is silicon. NB For single letter elemental symbols are ALWAYS a CAPITAL letter. For two letter elemental symbols, the first letter is always a capital letter amd the second letter is small /lower case. This is the International IUPAC standard, and as found in the Periodic Table. Hence, silicon is 'Si' , not 'si'

Can two O Positive parents have an RH Negative child?

Absolutely yes. This is an example of Mendelian genetics (i.e. dominant vs recessive). The "rhesus factor" is a protein on the surface of red blood cells. Positive means that you make the protein, negative means that you don't. Since you only need one functioning copy of the gene for this protein to make the protein, the functional gene is "dominant." Someone who is rhesus positive can have either 1 or 2 functional copies of the gene. In genetics, this is written "RR" or "Rr," where the capital letter represents the functional copy of the gene. When two people who are "Rr" have children, each child inherits one copy of the gene from each parent. Each parent can pass on either the "R" or the "r" version. The chance that each child will be "rr" and be Rh negative is 25%. The "r" version of this gene is pretty common, especially in caucasians, so it is not unusual for people who are Rh positive to have one copy of the "r" version of the gene. The o part of the blood type is a separate gene. This is recessive, which means that o parents will always have o children.
