Q: Can two HIV-positive parents have an HIV-negative child? Yes, they can. Although HIV can pass from a woman with HIV to her child during pregnancy, at the time of birth, or when breast-feeding the infant, medical treatment of both the mother and her infant can minimize the chances of that happening.
If you do not inherit the Rhesus D antigen from either parent, then you are Rh-negative (15% of us). So, is it possible for two people who are Rh-positive to produce a child that's Rh-negative? The answer is yes — but only if neither parent passes along Rhesus D.
The only way for someone to have a negative blood type is for both parents to have at least one negative factor. For example, if someone's Rh factors are both positive, it is not possible for his or her child to have a negative blood type.
Two parents with A blood type can produce a child with either A or O blood types. Two parents with B blood type can produce a child with either B or O blood type. One parent with A and another with B can produce a child with A, B, AB or O blood types.
Rh incompatibility occurs when the mother's blood type is Rh negative and her fetus' blood type is Rh positive. Antibodies from an Rh negative mother may enter the blood stream of her unborn Rh positive infant, damaging the red blood cells (RBCs).
Is it possible for a child to have different blood type than both of its parents? Yes, a child is able to have a different blood type than both parents. Which parent decides the blood type of the child? The child's blood type is decided by both parents' blood type.
Our children (who are triplets) are all A+. The possible blood types for our children were A (75% chance) and O (25%). A- or O- is possible with two A+ parents, but only if each parent carries the Rh negative factor, which is recessive, and the child gets the negative factor from them both.
A positive makes up almost a third of requests for blood from hospitals so we need to maintain a regular supply. A positive blood from male donors can also be made into special medicines to treat conditions such as Dry Eye Syndrome. Platelets from A positive donations are also important.
A+ is the second most common blood type in America. 34% of the population shares it! A+ hospital patients can receive blood from both A and O blood types. A+ blood can be received by A+ and AB+ patients.
A baby may have the blood type and Rh factor of either parent, or a combination of both parents. Rh factors follow a common pattern of genetic inheritance. The Rh-positive gene is dominant (stronger) and even when paired with an Rh-negative gene, the positive gene takes over.
So based on probability, 25%probability each of baby being A, B, AB or O. Similarly for Rh factor inheritance, assuming you both were Rr, you have 25% chance for RH negative baby. To conclude.. its possible for a A+ and B+ couple to have O- baby. You are proud parents of a universal donor.
The correct option is: d Rh+ male and Rh– femaleExplanation:Rh factor is a protein found in blood. A person having Rh factor in blood is called Rh positive whereas that who does not carry this protein in the blood is called Rh negative. Marriage should be avoided in between Rh negative female & Rh positive male.
The "positive" or "negative" part of your blood type, such as O positive or A negative, refers to your Rh status. During pregnancy, problems can occur if you are Rh negative and your fetus is Rh positive. Treatment can be given to prevent these problems.
Fertility: a small study (544 women) performed did suggest that women with blood type O may be at a higher risk for what's called “diminished ovarian reserve.” More studies are needed in order to better understand this, so if you have blood type O, don't panic just yet.
Yes this is definitely possible.
There is absolutely no disadvantage in having the same blood group between married couples. According to the generic principles, the baby born will have the same blood group. For instance, if a couple has blood group a+, the baby born also will have a+ blood group and there won't be any complications.
Rh incompatibility is a mismatched blood type between a pregnant mother and the baby she is carrying. It is rarely serious or life threatening, thanks to early diagnosis and treatment during pregnancy. Rh factor is a protein located in red blood cells.
Hemolytic transfusion reactions can cause the most serious problems, but these are rare. These reactions can occur when your ABO or Rh blood type and that of the transfused blood do not match. If this happens, your immune system attacks the transfused red blood cells. This can be life-threatening.
If a baby's and mother's blood are incompatible, it can lead to fetal anemia, immune hydrops (erythroblastosis fetalis) and other complications. The most common type of blood type incompatibility is Rh disease (also known as Rh incompatibility). The Rh factor is a protein on the covering of red blood cells.
Two parents with blood type A will have a baby with either A or O. Two parents with B blood type will have a baby with either B or O. Two parents with blood type AB will have a baby with either A, B, or AB.
Brothers and sisters don't always share the same blood type. The genotype of both parents plays a role in defining the blood type. For instance, children of parents with the genotypes AO and BO may have the blood types A, B, AB, or O. Thus, siblings do not necessarily have the same blood type.
The second most common blood type is A positive which occurs in "33% of Caucasian, 24% of African American, 27% of Asian and 29% of Latino American" populations," says the Red Cross.
