Can a child take blood type after the mother instead of the father?
SeniorJewel
It depends- each person has two alleles, and the combination determines what blood type they are. (Possibilities are A, B, and O.)
Each parent contributes one allele (one of their pair, at random) to the child.
But there are several factors that determine a child's blood type. A and B are 'dominant', meaning that if the parent gives a child and A or a B allele, then that is what the child's blood type is, regardless of if the other allele the child has is an O. But if one parent gives an A and the other a B, then the child is AB, since A and B are as equally dominant.
But if both parents give the child an O, then the child will be an O.
But it is possible to have an O child if neither parent is O, because O is 'recessive', or won't show up if there's a dominant allele.
For example:
Say the mother's alleles are A,O. She would be a type A.
And if the father was the same...
The baby could have 3 possible allele combinations (AA, AO, or OO).
Either of the first two combinations would mean that the child was an A, but it would also be possible for the child to be an O, although less likely (33% chance).
So to answer your question, it's not a matter of receiving a blood type from one parent, but the child's blood type is the result of both parent's blood types.

If a mother has O negative blood and her child has A positive blood what type of blood should the father have?
The blood would be A+, the child's is always pretty much what the Father's is.
If a father has blood type a and the mother is type o then whats the child?
The child's blood type is probably B.
Can b positive child have an a negative father?
Yes, a child with B+ blood can have a father with A- blood. In order for this to occur, the mother would need to be B+ or AB+ and the father would need to be heterozygous.
Can 0neg blood group father have 0neg child?
If the mother is not AB, yes.
Can a blood transfusion in a mother affect the race of a child born to that mother?
Absolutely not! Race is genetic, determined by the characteristics of the mother and the father. A blood transfusion (from whatever race) will not change the genetic makeup of either the mother or the child.
Could a father with a blood group ab have a child that is O blood group?
Absolutely. A child will either have its mother's blood type or its father's blood type. If the mother's blood type is NOT O, then someone else is the father.
Can a mother of o blood group have a healthy child with a father o?
can a mother of o blood group have a healthy child with a father type o
If mother and father is A blood group can child be B positive?
If the mother is A, and the father is A, then the child will only have A antigens and will thus be blood type A. If father or mother are AB, then the child can end up with AB, A, or B blood type. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_type
Can a mother with blood type r-a and father with o - positive blood have a chaild with a-a blood type?
He mother and father have nothing to do with the child's blood type
Can a father with o positive blood have a child with A positive blood?
If the father is O and the mother is A, the child can end up either A or O.If the father is O and the mother is AB, the child can end up either A or B.
Can a father with A-negative blood have a child with A-positive blood?
Yes, a father with A negative blood can have a child with A positive blood. If he does, the mother must have a positive Rh factor, and the mother's blood type may be any of the possibilities.
Can a mother with a blood and father with ab blood have a child that is 0?
yes
Can a mother with AB and father with O have a child with A blood?
NO
If a mother has O negative blood and her child has A positive blood what type of blood should the father have?
The blood would be A+, the child's is always pretty much what the Father's is.
Can a father with A negative blood and a mother with B positive blood have a child with B- blood?
No
Can a child has blood type B if a mother has blood type B and father has blood type O?
Yes, the child's blood type can be B if the father has o.
Should a child with A positive be same as the mother?
Blood types are received from the mother and father, so the child can be the same type as the mother if the father's type allows it.
