Detailed explanation-1: -Rh factor is a protein called an antigen that is found on the red blood cells of most people. (An antigen is any substance that the body considers “foreign” and thus stimulates the body to produce antibodies against it.) Rh factor, like the blood types A, B, and O, is inherited from one’s parents.
Detailed explanation-2: -An Rh factor is a protein found on some red blood cells (RBCs). Not everyone carries this protein, though most do. They are Rh-positive. People who don’t carry the protein are Rh-negative.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Rh factor is inherited, meaning it is passed from parent to child through genes. The fetus can inherit the Rh factor from the father or the mother. Most people are Rh positive, meaning they have inherited the Rh factor from either their mother or father.
