What are the most common and rare blood types?

O pos, A pos, B pos are the most common. Next is O neg, A neg, B neg. All RH neg blood is considered rare but the most rare are AB pos and AB neg. If you are a female with a negative RH factor and you become pregnant from a man with a positive RH factor, you will need a shot or your body will reject the pregnancy and you could lose the baby. If he is negative also, the baby should be fine. If the female is postive she can carry a baby with negtive blood type just fine. The blood type O pos can go to any POSITIVE blood type, O neg can go to any NEGATIVE blood type. O pos can only receive O pos, and O neg can only receive O neg.

As everyone has told you the only type not possible is O\nbecause to get type 0 blood which is recessive you would need a recessive allele from each parent. Obviously if you are AB (which are codominant) you do not have a recessive allele. The child could Inheret either the A alle or the B allele and would end u p with type A, B or AB blood depending upon the allele passed by the other parent.\nI see you also want to know if there are any blood types not possible for the children of a person with O type blood to get. Yes, a person with O type blood cannot end up with a child with AB blood because they have 2 recessive alleles. They could end up with children with A  B or O phenotypes

Most blood transfusions are of packed red cells and not serum/platelets or white cells.  Red cells have no nuclei/genetic material.  Blood type and rH factor are important and mismatch can yield a type of rejection.  The white cells are ultimately "rejected"   In someone with an inactive immune system (chemo patient) the blood can attack the recepient!

In man blood group is applied to single factor. This factor is agglutinogen and is also called antigen. It is found on the surface of red blood corpuscles. \n\nAccordingly a person with `A' antigen is designated as a person with A-group, with `B' antigen as B-group, with both A and B antigens as AB-blood group and a person without any antigens is designated as O-blood group. \n\nIn the case of animals blood group is applied to combinations of blood factors. So it is preferable to call it as blood group systems rather then blood groups. Each system has many factors, which are together called blood group factors. \n\nDr. J. Moustgaard, of the Royal Veterinary & Agricultural College, Copenhagen has identified in cattle ten group systems namely A,B,C,FV,J,L,M,SU, Z and R'S'. Except J and L, all the other group systems have more than one group factor. For example the group factors of the group system A are designated as A{-1}, A{-2}, D, H, Z'. \n\nThe grouping factors are particular serum proteins. Acquiring of each protein is an inherited character. So examination of blood sample from within a breed might eventually prove a very useful means of selection. It might also indicate what mating could be expected to result in infertility. \n\nThe B-group system only has greater number of grouping factors. It has nearly 27 group factors, which are called phenogroups. Some of these are unique to particular breeds. \n\nThey are particularly valuable in determining incorrectly stated parentage. In dogs serum major groups have been recognised in the USA and they are referred to as A to G. \n\nIn veterinary practice blood transfusion is used in cases of haemorrhage and shock and to a lesser extent as part of the treatment of certain infectious diseases. \n\nIn cattle the donor and recipient are usually in the same herd. This fact lessens the risk of introducing infection and incompatibility does not arise. \n\nBut normal antibodies against the blood group factor-J are sometimes found in cattle. Thus if the donor's blood is J-positive and the recipient's blood contains normal antibody called anti-J the so-called transfusion reaction might be expected immediately following blood transfusion. These reactions are dyspnoea, muscular twisting, increased salivation and circulatory disturbances. \n\nHowever, if an animal has been exposed to repeated blood transfusions, a different situation will arise. The animal will now have formed antibodies against the blood group antigens it does not have itself. It is therefore by no means unlikely that the blood of donor and the recipient are incompatible. \n\nIf this is so, transfusion will set off strong transfusion reactions. Such reaction can occur on the second or on subsequent blood transfusion\n\nI hope this helps!

im not aware of any diseases associated with blood types A + B. the only issue is if a mom as a non-compatible blood type with her baby, sometimes that can cause a problem but even that is usually not an issue

Yes.\n\nThis site talks about blood groups in cattle:\n\n"Eleven blood groups have been recognised in cattle - some are simple with only one antigen presented, whilst others are more complicated"\n\nWhat, you thought humans would be unique? =)

RH Factor:\nAn antigen present on the red blood cells of about 85% of people. Called Rh because it was first identified in the blood of rhesus monkeys. Persons with the factor are designated Rh-positive, those lacking the factor are designated Rh-negative.\n\nABO System:\nABO blood group system: a classification system for the antigens of human blood; used in blood transfusion therapy; four groups are A and B and AB and O

Well, there are lists for all the different blood types, organ sizes.  Once your blood type and organ size is determined, they put you on the list.  In some rare instances, they can put you on the top of the list if you really need the transplant.

I have the same blood type as you and here is what I found on the internet about it. Look at this site: http://www.dadamo.com/

There are 3 types of blood cells:- \nred blood cells \nwhite blood cells \nplatelets\n\nThese three types of blood cells are mostly manufactured in the bone marrow.\n\nRed blood cells (also called erythrocytes) are shaped like slightly indented, flattened disks. Red blood cells contain an iron-rich protein called hemoglobin. Blood gets its bright red color when hemoglobin in red blood cells picks up oxygen in the lungs.\n\nWhite blood cells (also called leukocytes) are a key part of the body's system for defending itself against infection. They can move in and out of the bloodstream to reach affected tissues. The blood contains far fewer white blood cells than red cells, although the body can increase production of white blood cells to fight infection. They fight germs such as bacteria and viruses and may also attempt to destroy cells that have become infected or have changed into cancer cells. \n\nPlatelets (also called thrombocytes) are tiny oval-shaped cells made in the bone marrow. They help in the clotting process.\n\nU asked what can happen when white blood cells are not enough.. 3 most known diseases:-\n\nNeutropenia -occurs when there aren't enough of a certain type of white blood cell to protect the body against bacterial infections. People who take certain chemotherapy drugs to treat cancer may develop neutropenia. \n\nHIV -a virus that attacks certain types of white blood cells (lymphocytes) that work to fight infection. Infection with the virus can result in AIDS leaving the body prone to infections and certain other diseases.\n\nLeukemia -cancer of the cells that produce white blood cells.\n\nIt is good if you can visit a pharmacist and get advise on the right supplement to take to balance the white blood cells in your blood. Every case/person is unique - so there's no 1 supplement that should work for every person with blood cell disorder.\n\nGood luck.

The Blood types would have to be 50% chance of Oo and 50% chance of Ao. Remember the three possible alleles in blood are A, B and O, out of the three only O is recessive. So in order to be heterozygous A you have to actually be Ao, If the other allele was a B, it would be AB. Because O is recessive, any individual with O blood type is automatically Oo. The punet squar then looks something like the following\n\n______ Oo\nAo___Ao Ao\n_____Oo Oo, \n\nHope that helps

just like any other trait, the baby can inherit the blood type from either the mother OR the father.\n\nHere's a link that shows possibilities for the baby depending on each parents blood type:\nhttp://mistupid.com/health/bloodinherit.htm

The most familiar type of thalassemia is beta thalassemia. It involves decreased production of normal adult hemoglobin (Hb A), the predominant type of hemoglobin from soon after birth until death. (All hemoglobin consists of two parts: heme and globin). The globin part of Hb A has 4 protein sections called polypeptide chains. Two of these chains are identical and are designated the alpha chains. The other two chains are also identical to one another but differ from the alpha chains and are termed the beta chains. In persons with beta thalassemia, there is reduced or absent production of beta globin chains .\n\nThe gene for beta thalassemia is not evenly distributed among peoples. It is, for example, relatively more frequent in people of Italian and Greek origin, both of which are peoples from the Mediterranean. Because of this, thalassemia major has been called Mediterranean anemia. (1)

Someone with A- blood can donate to a person with A+ blood type.  Both of your blood types are A (no problem there) and your blood is lacking the Rh factor (hence your blood is A-).  Since you have the same blood type and you are lacking the Rh factor you have no problem donating to a person with A+ blood type.\n\nAnd to correct wiserangel O- is the universal donor, O+ is the universal reciever.

Believe it or not, the children could have any type of blood, as long as it is positive. (A+, B+, AB+, O+)\n\nThere's a blood typing calculator on the following site:\n\nhttp://www.biology.arizona.edu/human_bio/problem_sets/blood_types/inherited.html
