Assuming a and b are referring to blood types...

The father will have the genotype Ao

The mother will have the genotype Bo

Their offspring will be 1AB:1Bo:1Ao:1oo. This means the child has an equal chance (1/4) of being blood type A, B, AB and O.

Can a child be blood Type A and the father blood Type B?

Yes, as long as the father is heterozygous for B (Bi, not BB) and the mother has an A allele (she might be type AB or A).


If the mother has 0 blood type and the father has b blood type what blood type will the baby have?

If the father is homozygous (ii, BB): the baby will be type B. If the father is heterozygous (ii, Bi): the baby will be type B or O.


If the father has type A blood and mother type O and they have childred with type A are they Diploid haploid Heterozygous or Homozygous?

all type A children born in this condition are A heterozygous . there is two possibilities with the father genes but both give us the same result, since we don't know the father blood type is hetero or homo : if Father is Hetero : 1- Father(IAi --> A) and Mother(ii --> O), the Children are 50% of the kids will be O 50% of the kids will be A ( hetero) if Father is Homo : 2- Father(IAIA --> A) and Mother(ii --> O), the Children are 100% of the kids will be A ( hetero) so in both cases weither the father is homo or hetero, children will be hetero, because of the mother blood type.


If a child has blood type O and its mother has type O could a man with type B be the father?

Yes it is possible. Blood type O is recessive. So it is true that the child would need an OO blood type. But if the mother is OO and the father is BO..... Then in this case the mother would contribute an "O" and the father a B or an O. If the father contributes an O then the child will be type O. Of course in order for this to happen the father must be heterozygous and not homozygous for the dominant blood type.


Can a a blood group father produce an o type child?

An A blood group father can have an O type child. If he does, then he is heterozygous for type A.


Can a type A mother and AB father produce a child with O negative?

Its a possibility. Although the parents have to both be heterozygous with the type O blood. Because type O blood is recessive while type A and type B are dominant.


Can a mother with O type blood type and a father with A blood type have a baby with B type blood?

Yes, both parents would be heterozygous for their bloodtypes in this case though: BO and BO.


How does a A blood type mother AND a father have a -0 blood type child?

The mother and father both have heterozygous alleles for the blood group A. The blood group A can have the alleles AA or AO, when both parents are AO, there is a one in four chance that the child will have blood group O as this blood group is recessive.


Can father is A blood group and mother is B blood group and baby is male or female?

It depends. If the mother is heterozygous rh+ rh- for the rh blood type, then the baby could inherit an rh- allele from both parents, and then it would be rh negative.


Can an AB positive blood type mother and an A positive father have an rh negative blood type child?

Yes, it can happen. for Rh- to come, both parents should be Heterozygous. Medical Answers need to be confirmed and re-confirmed.


Can you father someone who has type O blood?

A man with any blood type by AB can father a child with type O blood. A parent heterozygous for type A or B may have a child with type O.


Can a child w a- blood type have a father with a plus and a mother w O plus?

Yes A is dominant over O so if a child inherited the A gene from the father the child would be A Plus (or Rh +) is dominant over Negative (or Rh -). So if mother and father are both heterozygous for the Rh gene then 1 in 4 children will be Negative
