I have a brother that is O negative. I'm A+. It's interesting how we all are so different when you get down to it.

John, Here's a link to give you an idea of the inheritance factors in blood types. http://www.drgreene.com/21_59.html Blood is usually typed in 2 ways: according to the ABO groupings, and according to the Rhesus factor (expressed as Rh negative or Rh positive). Certain blood types are dominant, & others are recessive. What blood type you have depends on your parents' blood types. Of course, there are many, many subgoupings that are used to identify tissue & blood types now, as needed for matching transplant tissues. With regard to transfusions, everyone can receive blood type O negative in an emergency, so if you're that blood type, please donate!
