If an individual is O+, which of the following antigens are on the surface of his or her red blood cells?Group of answer choicesA, B, and RhO and RhA and BORh

Break Down the Problem

1. To identify which antigens are present on the surface of red blood cells for an individual with blood type O+, we need to understand the ABO and Rh blood group systems.

Relevant Concepts

2. The ABO blood group system has four main types: A, B, AB, and O.
   • Type O does not have A or B antigens.
3. The Rh factor can either be positive (+) or negative (−).
   • If an individual is Rh positive (like O+), the Rh antigen is present on the surface of their red blood cells.

Analysis and Detail

4. An individual with blood type O+ will have:
   • ABO Group: O type means no A and B antigens (just O antigen).
   • Rh Factor: Positive means Rh antigen is present.

Verify and Summarize

5. The presence of antigens can be summarized as follows:
   • A Antigen: Absent
   • B Antigen: Absent
   • Rh Antigen: Present

Final Answer

The correct choice is: Rh. The individual with blood type O+ has the Rh antigen on their red blood cells but does not have A or B antigens.
