[quote:Anonymous Coward 1529682:MV8xNjE3MDE1XzI2NzUxNzA5X0MxMkVDRTlF] [quote:SmartestOne:MV8xNjE3MDE1XzI2NzQ5NzY1XzY2MTYyNDZD] [quote:Anonymous Coward 1502917:MV8xNjE3MDE1XzI2NzQ4OTA1XzgyNkVDOTg1] O neg is the universal donor and can give blood to rh pos and rh neg bloodtypes the rh neg factor of blood has an unknown origin, most of the rh neg people are found in northern europe coming from the basque area of spain. rh neg blood is most adaptable at blending in with other blood types, the term blue blood as is referred to as royal comes from rh neg. they have lowever body temperatures, [b]and process oxyegen differently, so if both parents are rh neg then the baby often wont survive (no oxygen in blood, hence blue blood.)[/b] apparently royal bloodlines are rh neg, high percentage of this in eng, ireland, iceland nowadays. so the ABO factor can change more than rh factor. does this make sense? [/quote] Excellent post! Except for the bolded part, which is absolute bullshit! [b][u][i] It is the O+ offspring of a maternal Rh- and a paternal Rh+ that probably won't survive without either a blood transfusion or Rhogam to the mother (the latter done nowadays). That's because antibodies in the maternal immune system attack the "rhesus" portion as FOREIGN, resulting in SPONTANEOUS ABORTION/MISCARRIAGE.[/i][/u][/b] [/quote] [b][i][u]WRONG![/u][/i][/b] I am the O+ offspring of a RH negative mother and RH positive father. I did just fine except that I caused my mother to be terribly ill. At 8 months the docs induced labor. Next came my brother, O-. Guess what? Because I was born first, he almost died. He is the one who needed the transfusion to live. [/quote]
Original Message
Just had a quick question-
I recall long ago researching blood types and there was some research that suggested that blood type does not always follow the rules of genetics. Does this refer to the rhesus factor (+/-) or the ABO subgroups?
Any terms for this for google purposes or links themselves would be helpful :)
