Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Rh test. Rh blood type checks for the Rh antigen (also called the Rh factor) on red blood cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -Each person has an ABO blood type – either A, B, AB, or O – which means antigen A, antigen B, both antigens (type AB), or neither antigen (type O) is found on their blood cells. Each person also is either Rh-positive or Rh-negative (you either have Rh or you don’t).
Detailed explanation-3: -blood group AB – has both A and B antigens, but no antibodies.
Detailed explanation-4: -There are currently 43 recognised blood group systems containing 349 red cell antigens (September 2022). The 43 systems are genetically determined by 48 genes.
