How is the Rh-Negative Blood Type Determined?
Every human being is born with two (2) individual Positive or Negative Rh Blood Factors. During conception, each parent must pass one (1) of their “Factors” on to their children. Below you can see the way a child’s Positive or Negative Rh Blood Factor is finally determined; based on their receipt of the two parents combined Rh Factors. If a person has + + genes, they are Rh-positive (Rh+). If a person has + – genes, they are Rh-positive (Rh+). If a person has – – genes, they are Rh-negative (Rh-). Use the battery slideshow image examples below to get an understanding of the different ways the Rh-positive and Rh- Negative Factors are passed down to your children.
