You cannot say for certain. Without knowing the exact genetical make-up (genotype) of both parents, the child could belong to any blood group (type): A, B, AB, or O.

If the mother has blood group B, her genotype must be either IBIB or IBi. The father must, similarly, be IAIA or IAi. The child could therefore have any of the following genotypes:

IAIB (type AB)

IAi (type A)

IBi (type B)

ii (type O)

We cannot calculate probabilities without knowing parents' genotypes

Theoretically, this pairing could result in a child with any possible blood type.
It all boils down to the specific alleles each parent possesses and which ones actually pass on to the child. A few generalizations can be made, however, that can narrow down the possibilities of the child's blood type.

  • If the father's ABO alleles are BB as opposed to BO, or the mother's are AA as opposed to AO, then the child cannot be type O, as this requires both parents to pass on an O allele. If neither parent has an O allele, then the child will be type AB.
  • If either parent's Rh alleles are ++ (as opposed to +-), then the child will be Rh+, as an Rh- requires both parents to pass on an Rh- allele.

The baby can be type A, B, or AB. It takes 2 genes to express the blood type. The mother could be BB or BO. If the father's A combines with the mother's O then the baby will be AO which is expressed as A. It may be possible to figure out if the mother is BB or BO by learning the blood types of her parents.

We are looking for the possible blood types of the FATHER.

Parental information:

  • Mother type A -- can be AA or AO - contributes A or O gene
  • Baby type B --can be BB or BO - mother will contribute the O gene
Baby receives one gene from each parent:
  • Mom is AO + Dad is BB/BO = baby BO, AB
  • Mom is AO + Dad is AB = baby BO, AO, AA, AB
Dad has to contribute the B gene for the baby to be Type B; therefore, Dad could be genetically BB, BO or AB.

If the mother is homozygous for B (BB), the child can be either AB or B.

If the mother is heterozygous for B (iB), the child can be either AB, B, or A.

If both your mother and father have negative blood types does that mean you will too?

no but there is a average chance you will :)


Can a heterozygous mother with A blood have an O blood child by an AB blood man?

no. The possible blood types of an offspring are A, B, and AB. in order to have a recesive gene have a possibility of appeaing in the child oth the mother and father must carry the gene.


What are the possible blood types the baby could have if the mother is type O-positive and the father has the rh-negative blood type?

The rh factor is different from blood type. If the mother is RH positive and the father is RH negative, the baby can be either RH positive or RH negative. That is RH factor. It is different from blood type. If the mother is blood type O, and the father is blood type O, the baby will be type O. However the father can be type A, B, or AB. In that case, the baby may be one of those.


If a mother with blood type A and father with blood type A is there a chance there child's blood type is AB?

100%, but just the fact that your blood type is A, doesn't mean that your genes are AA. If your genes are AO, you would still be type A, because the O gene only expresses itself if both genes are O. So unless you are certain that your blood types are AA and BB, the children could have other types. For example, parents with AO and BO genes could produce children with A, B, AB, or O blood types.


What are blood types of offspring if mother is O plus and father is O?

The blood type for both parents must be OO since the O blood type is recessive. That means the child will definitely be O. The mother, since she has an Rh factor of + must be either ++ or +-. The father must be --. So, if the mother is ++, then the child will be O+. If the mother is +-, then there is a 50% chance that the child is O- and a 50% chance that they will be 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.
