Blood type of a child is determined equally by both parents. Each person has two alleles for their ABO blood type. One allele comes from mom, the other comes from dad. A and B alleles are dominant over the O allele. So blood type O people are two O alleles, one from each parent. Blood type A people can be AA or AO. People with AO are still considered blood type A because A is dominant over O. Blood type B people can be BB or BO. People with BO are considered blood type B because B is dominant over O. Blood type AB people got an A from one parent and a B from another parent. But since A and B are equally dominant, you're AB.

Sometimes, but it is a combined genetic trait the has two genes, one from the mother and one from the father. The gene that is dominant gets expressed as the blood type. Actually, it's more complicated because there are several genes that contribute to blood typing.

No

Blood type is determined by a combination of several genes which determine the types of proteins on the surface of blood cells, principally red blood cells, but also immune system cells, lymphatic system cells, etc.

The genes for blood type are not necessarily adjacent to each other on a chromosome, and a child gets chromosomal material from both parents. Blood typing is a first test, easier and cheaper to do than DNA testing, which can eliminate some parental possibilities. Using the classic A, B, o groups, if the child is AB, and one possible parent is O, that one can be eliminated. An AB child cannot have an O parent.

It depends... which blood type is domanite. And sometimes two parents with + (positove) blood can give birth to a child with - (negitive) blood type. (Example: Mother: A+ Father: O+ = O-)

Can an a positive blood type father have an o blood type baby?

First let Me say "Fathers don't have babys, Mothers do" To answer what I think is the intent of the question A AB B and O blood type is completely separate from RH factor which is + or - so The Fathers O blood type has absolutely nothing to do with the Rh factor of the babys blood. A father with Rh + blood can Father a baby with type O (or any other type) blood.


What blood type do children get mothers or fathers?

You don't get just one or the other. For example: If your blood type is AB, either of your parents could have A, B, or AB. Another example: I have O and my husband has O. All of our children will have O, because O doesn't combine with A or B.


Can a mother of 0 negative blood type and a father of A negative blood type have a child with AB blood type?

Is there a posibility to have a child that is blood type -A A couple who are blood type B and blood type O?

No. It is not possible for a child to have A if the parents are O blood type. If both parents have type O blood, then their children will also have type O blood. However, two parents with type A or type B blood (both the same or one of each) can sometimes have a child with type O blood. That is because the gene for type O blood is recessive. But they must carry the O type. However, two parents with type AB blood can have a child with type A, type B, or type AB blood, but cannot have a child with type O blood.

Yes - blood type O or B are the only possibilities. Each parent donates one allele to the child. The parent with blood type O must donate an O. The parent with blood type be will donate either a B or an O - they can only donate an O if they are heterozygous, BO.


How can you get your child's fathers blood type without him knowing?

You can limit what possible blood types the father has if you know the mother's and the child's. For example, if the child is type O, the father cannot be type AB, and if the child is type AB, the father cannot be type O.

If you have O positive blood and your panter has O neg. blood what would your kids have?

It is hard to tell if your blood type is dominate and your partners blood type is recessive them the child could have O positive blood, but if your blood type is recessive and your partners blood type is dominate then the child could have O negative. Sometime the child could get a completely different blood type eve if their parents do not have it. There is no way you can tell.
