The Rh factor is a protein found on the surface of red blood cells. The Rh factor must be matched during blood transfusions. Rh + individuals may receive blood from Rh + and Rh - donors while Rh - individuals can only receive Rh - blood. Rh + individuals possess at least one dominant allele (R) for the trait while Rh - individuals are homozygous recessive. Two Rh + parents have children. What is the probability that any offspring will NOT be able to receive a transfusion from either parent?
