The antigen was first discovered in the blood of Rhesus monkeys.

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.
Rhesus
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.
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.

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).
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.
No, in this scenario the possible blood types for the children are A- and B-. Positive refers to the presence of Rh factor in the blood. The Rh factor has to come from somewhere.
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-
