We are looking for the possible blood types of a baby.
Parental information:
- Mother type O --can only be OO = contributes O gene
- Father type B --can be BB or BO = contributes B or O gene
- Baby is type BO = Type B
- Baby is type OO = Type O
HOWEVER: There is more to ABO blood typing that just the ABO gene.
There is also an inhibitory gene that will change any genotype into the phenotype O.
Therefore a person with genetically AB blood can be tested as having Type O.
If the OO parent has the inhibitory gene affecting his A, B or AB type,
then a Type AB baby is definitely possible.

If you have AB blood type what group could give blood to?
The AB blood type is known as the universal recipient. Therefore, the groups that a person with this blood type can give blood to are limited. If your blood is AB+, then you can only give to others with AB+ blood. If your blood is AB-, then you can give to people with both AB+ or AB- blood.
What blood type will the baby have with a mother with type a blood and father with type ab blood?
Possible blood types of the child with a mother who has A blood type and a father who has AB blood type are A, B, and AB. :)
Blood type o negative and blood type b positive equals what blood type?
not a single specific type - could be either of the above, O+, B-, AB+ or AB- or possibly something else entirely
Can ab- blood receive blood from any type?
The blood type AB is a universal receiver meaning it can receive blood from blood types A, B, AB, and O.
Why is blood type inherited by codominance?
Blood Type: AB
If your dad is type A blood and your mum is type B or type AB blood what is your blood type?
A,ab or b
What type blood do you transfuse to an AB type if you have no AB blood?
You can give either A or B blood.
What blood type is rich or rare?
AB negative is the rarest blood type. AB positive is the second rarest blood type. The negative blood types are more rare than the positive. The common blood type is o.
What is the only blood type that can receive AB blood?
I am blood typr AB+ and i donate. The only type I can receive is AB+
Does type AB blood contains agglutinate A and B?
If the blood type is AB then the agglutinin would be O because agglutinin is what we do not have. Since the person has AB type blood, he/she does not have O type blood.
What two blood types are not compatible?
More than just two blood types are not compatible with each other. The four basic types of blood are: A, B, AB, O(not counting Rh). Type A blood can only receive blood from type A and type O. However, type A blood can donate their blood to type A and type AB. Type B blood can only receive blood from type B and type O. However, type B blood can donate their blood to type B and type AB. Type AB blood can receive blood from every type, A, B, AB, and O. However, type AB blood can only donate to other AB. Type O blood can only receive blood from type O. However, type O can donate their blood to A, B, AB, and O. So, AB is the "universal" reciepient and O is the "universal" donor.
What is the blood type that has no antigens?
Type AB blood has no antibodies, so people with this blood type can receive blood from A, B, AB, and O types,
