Your parents' blood types do have an impact on your own blood type. They are passed on to you on chromosome 9. A combination of both parents' blood type will determine your own, although it might not be a perfect match to one, or either, of your parents.

Although all blood is made of the same basic elements, not all blood is alike. In fact, there are eight different common blood types, which are determined by the presence or absence of certain antigens " substances that can trigger an immune response if they are foreign to the body. Since some antigens can trigger a patient's immune system to attack the transfused blood, safe blood transfusions depend on careful blood typing and cross-matching.
