Since blood type and rh factor are controlled by genes on the autosomes,
you cannot link these two to mtDNA or to Y-DNA. Neither mtDNA or Y-DNA has
any influence on blood type and rh factor. You need to look at your
complete ancestry, not just paternal or maternal, to figure out inheritance
of these genes.

systems since the blood groups can be passed on by males or females.
