question 47

True/False

In 1940, two researchers named Weiner and Landsteiner discovered that about 85% of the human population sampled possessed a blood cell protein called the Rh factor. The presence of Rh factor was labeled Rh positive (Rh⁺) and was found to be dominant over the absence of the blood factor (Rh^-). Rh factor is inherited in a typical Mendelian pattern. Based on this information, one could predict that two Rh⁺ parents could never have an Rh^- child.
