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.


If both parents are blood type o is it possible for their child to have a blood type a positive?

No, two type O parents can only have type O children. See the table below from www.dna-bioscience.co.uk/did_you_know_abo.shtml If you look at the row for mother's blood type O where it intersects with the column for father's blood type O, you will see that the child's blood type must be O. For the child to be Rh+, only one of the parents has to be Rh+.


Is it possible for parents who are both blood group O to have babies who are blood group A?

If one parent has blood type B and the other blood type O, it is possible to have a baby of blood type O or B. It is NOT possible (0% chance) to have a baby with blood type A.


How could 2 parents with blood type A and B have a child with the blood type of O?

both parents carried the recessive gene for type O blood. the baby then inherited 2 recessive genes and received type O blood. the reason the parents didn't have type O blood is because they carried genes that were more dominant.


Can type o mother and AB father have an o child?

Not normally. Father can only contribute an O. Mother can contribute a B, or perhaps an O (if she has BO genes). Child would be either O or B (with BO genes). However, rare exceptions do exist.

How is a child's blood type determined?

The child's blood type is determined by his or her parents' blood types. If both parents have type A, the child can have either type A or O. If both parents have type B, the child can have either type B or O. If one parent has type A and the other parent has type B, the child can have type A, B, AB, or O, but he/she is most likely to have type AB. If both parents have type O, the child will have type O.


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

Yes, if both parents have the genotype AO, then the child can have the O from both parents, phenotype O
