Solution

Rh Blood Group System:

  1. Blood type is said to be positive if the blood contains Rh (Rhesus) antigen.
  2. In addition to the ABO blood grouping system, another prominent one is the Rh blood group system.
  3. About two-thirds of the population contains a third antigen on the surface of their red blood cells known as the Rh factor or Rh antigen; this decides whether the blood group is positive or negative.
  4. If the blood contains Rh antigen, it is said to be a positive blood type.
