We are looking for the possible blood types of a baby.

Parental information:

  • Mother type BO --contributes B or O gene
  • Father type AO --contributes A or O gene
Baby receives one gene from each parent:
  • Baby is type AB = Type AB
  • Baby is type AO = Type A (heterozygous)
  • Baby is type BO = Type B (heterozygous)
  • Baby is type OO = Type O
The children from this AO x BO mating can be any one of the 4 phenotypic results of the ABO blood types.

What does dominant means?

Co-dominance happens when two genotypes are expressed at the same time. For example, one parent can have blood type A and one parent can have blood type B and together produce a child with blood type AB. If two parents have the blood type AB, the child has a chance of being mentally ill.


What blood type will the child of a mother with type O blood and a father with type B blood have?

ask a doctor. They did, I guess... So let's see: The mother may have two possible genotypes, IBIB or IBO The father is OO. Therefore their child can have type B blood (genotype of IBO) or type O blood (genotype OO), depending on what allele the mother's egg cell contains.


Could a father with blood type o be the father of a child with blood type ab?

No.In order to have blood type O, the father will have the genotype oo. The child receives one allele from each parent, so they must receive an o from the father - because he only has oo.Therefore the child will be Ao, Bo, or oo - depending on the mother's blood group.


A man heterozygous for blood type A marries a woman heterozygous for blood type B The chance that their first child will have type O blood?

25% for blood type O, 50% for blodd type AB, and 25% for A.


If father has blood type B positive and mother has blood type A negative what may be the blood type of the child and are there any possible problems possible for the child?

If the child is Rh positive, and it is the mother's second child, the mother's antibodies will attack the child's red blood cells when the blood becomes mixed during labor. An injection called RhoGAM will be administered to the mother right before delivery to prevent any attack of fetal red blood cells.

Can a parent with O positive and a parent with O negative have any affect on the child?

If the mother has type negative blood, and the father and child have type positive blood, the mother's blood may begin to attack the child's.


If the mom is o plus blood and so is the child what blood types can the father have?

The child inherits one allele from each parent for their blood type. You said that the mom is o+ and so is the child. Therefore: The father cannot have the following blood type genotypes: AB+, AB-, AA+, AA-, BB+, or BB-. The father's blood type genotypes can be: Ao+, Ao-, Bo+, or Bo-.


If one parent is o positive and other parent a positive what will their child be?

the child's blood type will be whatever their mother's is in almost all cases because the mother cannot host the life of a child with a different blood type. this is because the mother gives the child blood so they must be the same type.

Can an O positive blood type father parent an A positive blood type child?

Yes, if the mother has type A or AB blood.


Can you be the father if the baby don't have mine nor the mother blood type?

Yes. A mother with blood type A (AO) and a father with blood type B (BO) can have a child with blood type O (OO), one O from each parent. An AB parent and a A (AO) parent can have an B child (BO), an AB and a B (BO) can have an A (AO). An AB parent can never have an O child because it requires two recessive genes and an AB parent cannot donate a recessive O.


Can an b positive blood type father and mother parent an o positive blood type child?

yes, blood type is not genetic

Can an B positive blood type mother and a O negative blood type father parent a B positive child?

Yes.


Can an B positive blood type mother and an B positive blood type father parent an A positive child?

No. The child will be type B or O, it cannot be type A.


If the mother is A positive and the father is O positive what would the child's blood type be?

If the mother is A type blood and the father is O type blood, there are two options that can arise. Either the mother's A-type goes through and the child's also an A-type, or the mother's A-type doesn't go through an the child's an O-type. Because neither parent sport a B-type in their blood, the child cannot possibly have this blood type.
