Can O positive and O negative give blood to each other?
O positive red blood cells are not universally compatible to all types, but they are compatible to any red blood cells that are positive (A+, B+, O+, AB+). Those with O positive blood can only receive transfusions from O positive or O negative blood types.
Can two o Parents have an a child?
Two O parents will get an O child nearly all of the time. But it is technically possible for two O-type parents to have a child with A or B blood, and maybe even AB (although this is really unlikely). In fact, a child can get almost any kind of blood type if you consider the effect of mutations. How does this happen?
Is O Negative blood positive or negative?
You are positive if you have the protein and negative if you don’t. This gives us the common blood types of A+, A-, B+, B-, AB+, AB-, O+ and of course O-. O negative blood is missing both the A antigen and the B antigen and does not contain the protein for Rh positive blood.
What blood types are compatible with O positive?
O positive red blood cells are not universally compatible to all types, but they are compatible to any red blood cells that are positive (A+, B+, O+, AB+). Over 80\% of the population has a positive blood type and can receive O positive blood.
Is blood type ABO inherited from mother or father?
ABO Blood Type Everyone has an ABO blood type (A, B, AB, or O) and an Rh factor (positive or negative). Just like eye or hair color, our blood type is inherited from our parents. Each biological parent donates one of two ABO genes to their child.
Will I be an O+ or O+ positive child?
You will most likely be O+. The O gene is recessive, which means that both of your parents only carry O genes to donate. The Rh negative gene is also recessive, so your mother can only donate the recessive gene. Your father is positive, so he has at least one positive gene.
