The most likely blood type for the child is A positive - but A negative, O positive and O negative are also possible depending on the genotypes of the parents.

If both parents are heterozygous AO, then the child could have either A or O type blood. If either parent is homozygous, AA, then the child must have blood type A.

If the parent with positive blood is heterozygous, Dd (+-), then the child could have either positive or negative type blood. If they are homozygous, DD (++), then the child must have positive type blood.

If a baby is blood type B, the one parent must have a B. The possible combinations are:

One parent B (homozygous or heterozygous), other parent B (homozygous or heterozygous)

One parent B (homozygous or heterozygous), other parent A (heterozygous)

One parent B (homozygous or heterozygous), other parent AB

One parent B (homozygous or heterozygous), other parent O

One parent AB (homozygous or heterozygous), other parent O (homozygous or heterozygous)

The Rh factor must be either positive heterozygous or negative in each of the parents.

If one parent is AB- and another parent is B-, then the possible bloodtypes of their child is as follows:

AB-

BB-

B- [or BO-]

A- [or AO-]

There would be an equal chance of any one of these genotypes from occurring.

Both parents are rhesus-negative and have a genotype of BX (X being any of A, B and O), but nothing else can be determined.

What blood type must the parents of a B child be?

The parents must have both blood type B or blood type 0 and B.


Can parents with blood 0 and blood AB have a child with O?

No. The parents must both have the type O allele in order for their child to be O.


If both parents have o positive blood how can the child have o positive L blood?

if both parents have positive o blood their child must have positive o blood


Can two A positive blood type parents have a child with O negative blood?

Yes. The geneotype for both parents must be AO+- for the child to be OO--


Can parents with O blood and B- blood produce a child with A blood?

No - this is not possible. The child must have one parent with an A allele in order to have type A blood. Neither of these parents have an A allele - so this is not possible.


Can parents both blood type O have a child with B positive blood type?

It must have one of the true parents blood types.


What blood type would a child have if both parents are O?

The child must have O as well.


Can a parents with O blood and B blood have a child with A?

No - the child must recieve one allele from each parent. This means that because one parent is AB they must donate an A or a B to the child. In order for the child to be O both parents must have at least one O (AO, BO or OO).


Can two O positive blood types have a child with A negative blood?

Yes. The geneotype for both parents must be AO+- for the child to be OO--


How can a child that is born with type AB blood?

the child takes the A gene from one parent and B from the other. And the both of parent are supposed to be AB blood type, or one A blood type and the other B.


What two blood types from parents produce blood type A in child?

Parents must be blood type A or O. Any other blood type will not result in a sole A type child. It might result in several other combinations though, which are not relevant to this question.


Can both parents with A positive have a child with AB positive?

No. If two parents both have A blood then they are either AA or Ai. This means they can have a child with AA, Ai, or ii (O blood). To get AB there must be a B somewhere.
