The rh blood group was named after the?
Rhesus monkey
Is there a difference between Rh neg blood group and a B neg blood group?
RH- and RH+ are not blood types, they are factors.
Difference Between blood group A plus ve and A-ve?
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-
What blood group is given to someone who is RH negative blood group A?
You would give them A Rh Negative blood or you could also give them O Rh Negative as well. Group O is the universal donor so it can be given to anyone. If the patient is Rh Negative, they can only receive Rh Negative blood. If the patient was Rh positive, they can receive Rh positive or Rh negative.
Why is the Rh factor especially important with a transfusion?
In all the four basic blood groups there exist two sub-groups called Rh (+ve) and Rh (-ve). The people with the Rh (+ve) blood group have an additional "Rh" facto or the "Rhesus" factor (so named because it was first observed and discovered in the Rhesus monkeys). Whereas the people who do not have the 'Rh' factor are said to have Rh (-ve) blood as in B (-ve) etc. While blood transfusion it is very important to check the "Rh-compatibility" of blood of the donor and that of the recipient, because transfusion of Rh +ve blood to a person with anegative blood group leads to agglutination(clumping) of blood cells thus resulting in death of the person. But it must be noted that transfusion of Rh -ve blood to a person with positive blood group does not harm the recipient.
Can a person with O blood group donates his blood to an A blood group?
O Rh- is the universal donor and AB Rh- is the universal recipient of all blood types.
How do you find out blood positivity or negativity?
We can find out our blood positivity or negativity by RH-antigen.if RH-antigen is available in the blood then the blood group will be positive and if it is not available in the blood then the blood group will be Negative.
Can an individual with o blood group donates his blood to a blood group person?
O Rh- is the universal donor and AB Rh- is the universal recipient of all blood types.
Is the Rh blood group determined by a single gene?
No, the Rh blood group is determined by multiple genes. The most important gene is the RHD gene, which encodes the RhD antigen. In addition to the RHD gene, there are other Rh genes that influence the Rh blood group system.
What are rh negative blood groups?
it is a part of blood group. 95% people are Rh +ve, only 5% people are Rh negative.
Is their such a thing as blood d?
I assume what you are talking about is D antigen in Rh (Rhesus) blood group system. Rh blood group system is the most important blood group system after ABO blood group system (i.e. type A (AA, AO), type AB, type B (BB, BO), type O (OO) ). The Rh blood group system consists of 50 defined blood-group antigens and the 5 antigens D, C, c, E, and e are the most important. The commonly-used terms Rh factor, Rh positive and Rh negative refer to the D antigen only. Rh factor (Rh- and Rh + depending on D antigen neg/pos) is important for blood transfusion and prevention of hemolytic disease of the newborn or erythroblastosis fetalis (basically the baby and mom have different blood type - Rh- and Rh+ and cause severe immune response - fatal to the newborn)
What is Michael Jackson's blood group?
As of my last knowledge, Michael Jackson's blood group has not been publicly disclosed. Blood type information is generally considered private medical information and is not typically shared with the public unless in specific medical situations. Without explicit confirmation from a reliable source, it is not appropriate to speculate on an individual's blood type.
