Rh factor is a blood protein. About 84% of the population is Rh positive, meaning only 16% of the general population is lacking Rh factor (RH negative).

C. A and B.
Short for rhesus monkey
The Rh factor exhibits normal dominant/recessive patterns. In contrast, the ABO antigens express codominance.
There are not issues with a couple having children if the parents have the same Rh factor. However, if the have opposite Rh factors, health issues could be a problem for the child.
Positive and negative indicate the presence or lack of the rh factor in the blood. A+ blood type, for example, indicates that the rh factor is present in that blood.
when a Rh+ mother carries a Rh- baby for second time, there is a high risk for the baby to suffer from a fatal disease called erythroblastosis fetalis , so it is necessary for one to know her Rh factor as well as her baby.
If a person has the Rh factor, then they are positive. If they don't have the Rh factor, they are negative. The Rh factor is dominant, so a mother with it would have an Rh positive baby even if the father is negative for the Rh factor.
The rh blood factor was first observed in Rhesus monkeys
Having the Rh antigen protein in blood makes you RH factor positive.
Genotype determines the rh phenotype. The two alleles for rh factor are rh+ (rh positive) and rh- (rh negative). The rh+ allele is dominant.
I think Rh is not a blood group. Rh stands for a factor and derived its name from factor found in the blood of Rhesus monkey.
i think that !
Rh factor or rehsus factor is also involved in blood groups. either a person is Rh+ or Rh- if u are A+ then u have blood group A and you are Rh+ if you are A- then you have blood group A and you are Rh-
Rh factor is a protein that is found in the blood of about 85% of the population. Those who have the factor are Rh positive, while those who don't, are Rh negative. A person who is Rh negative can safely donate blood to persons with or without the protein. A person who is Rh positive can only donate to those who are Rh positive.
No. If both parents are Rh negative, they are homozygous recessive for the Rh factor and can only pass on recessive alleles to their children, and a positive Rh factor is a dominant trait.
NO
No, both men and women should be concerned with the Rh factor. The Rh factor is a protein found on red blood cells, and it can cause complications during pregnancy if a woman is Rh-negative and her partner is Rh-positive. It is important for both partners to be aware of their Rh status to prevent such complications.
type O and A is the type, you also have an Rh factor-either positive(meaning you have the factor) or negative(the Rh antigenis not present). All blood types can have a positive or negative rh factor so you need to know whether you and the father or RH positive or negative
