Can a blood type O father give blood type A to his offspring?

It depends on the mother's genotype. O blood is recessive, so the father has OO blood. Both A and B are dominant, so an AA or AO genotype would result in a type A blood phenotype. Since the father is homozygous recessive, he must donate an O. Therefore, for the child to be type A, the mother must donate an A to create an AO genotype for the child. So, if the mother has type A blood or type AB blood, the child could have type A blood.
