Mine is O. Not sure whether it is positive or negative.

I honestly have no clue what my blood type is.

I have no real need to know unless i plan on getting seriously injured and losing a lot of blood.

My blood type is O +ve. I

O positive donors are needed more frequently than any other donor. Because O positive is the most common Blood type (39% of the population), it is needed more often by people requiring Blood in hospitals.

So O +ve blood human can accepts blood from
A+, AB+, B+, O+ blood.

Just a question... what is the difference between positive and negative blood anyway?

I know that different blood types might or might not clump when they are mixed together, giving it's suitability of who to donate the blood to, but I've never heard about positive or negative blood types, so I don't know about me...

I'm O by the way, the most common and yet the most hard to donate to, because only O blood type people can only receive donations from to O blood type people, but O blood type people can donate to everyone else as well.

Positive blood means you have an "rh" antigen and no rh antibodies
Negative blood means you have no rh antigen and do have the rh antibodies

*Only* O negative can donate to *everyone*. O positive can not donate to O negative but O negative can donate to O positive.

AB positive is the only universal recipient.

Thanks,

No she mine , share a a lot of family traits that for sure. I look at that site link tha twa sent and it was down so will have to try again later.

When i asked before about it i was told if one of are parents or grand parent had ) it can be passed down, but non of them do that is none of.

I tried looking it up but all the lab talk lost me.

I'm suprised at how much you know... you seem to be like a walking encyclopedia or something...
And I won't be suprised to know that blood type is passed though parent to offspring...

I mean, haven't you heard of the expression: "It runs in the blood."
(or something like that)

My whole families O, but I don't know whether we're positive or negative.


It does get passed on, as follows:



I got this picture from elsewhere. If I remember right, "r" deals with being color blind (?). Regardless, it all works the same.

So on the left you have one parent and on the top you have the other. Which one is the mother/father is irrelevant for this.

What you do is take the letters and add them into each box. As you can see, the top left has RR because up is R and left is R. And follow that through the chart.

Capital means dominant, lower case means recessive (recessive = won't show if there is a dominant).

The genotypic ratio here is 3:1, as 3 boxes have at least one capital R. So if this is color blind, these parents' offspring should include one color-blind (if I got that right) child for every 4 children.

Blood type is passed on the same way, so instead or Rr and Rr it would be something like Bo and Bo. You would come up with BB, Bo, Bo, oo. In this case, o is recessive, so it is the weaker gene. Therefore 1 in 4 kids would have "o" type blood and the other 3 would have "b."

Actually every gene is passed down this way (hair color, eye color, skin color, everything).

In terms of how someone with B blood can pass the "o" gene, it is because with B type blood you could have BB or Bo. If both parents have Bo then there is the possibility of the offspring getting the oo.

However, if one is BB and one is Bo, you run into BB, BB, BB, Bo. In this case all four children will be dominantly B, therefore every child will have type B blood.


Hopefully this helps explain it to you a little better. If any of it is confusing or anything just ask, smile.gif.

lol, I rarely make posts here without knowing what I'm talking about before hand. If I don't know something I'll admit I don't know it, or admit it's a guess. Otherwise, if I don't know I will research ahead of time.

That information actually amazed me though. So it seems blood type works like other genes. You can have two blonde parents that have an offspring with brown hair. So blood type seems to work the same way.

I'm O-Neg but I think both of my parents are something else.
