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

Available information:

  • Mother type OO = only the O gene is available
  • Baby type AB = The A and B genes are available.

Baby recieves one gene from each parent:

  • Even if the father is AB, he can only contiribute one gene to the baby
  • The mother will contribute an O gene regardless

Generally speaking, a Type O mother cannot have a Type AB baby.

HOWEVER: There is more to ABO blood typing that just the ABO gene.

There is also an inhibitory gene that will change any genotype into the phenotype O.

Therefore a person with genetically AB blood can be tested as having Type O.

  • Baby is type AB which requires an A gene from one parent and a B from the other.

If the mother has the inhibitory gene affecting her AA, AO or AB type,

then the Type AB baby is definitely possible given the right set of complementary genes in the father.

Except in the case of a rare genetic mutation, no as the gene for 'O' blood type is recessive. Even if the father is an 'O' blood type (he would have to have 'OO' genes) then the child may have 'AO' or 'BO' genes but this would manifest as an 'A' or 'B' bloodtype due to the recessive nature of the 'O' gene. In this case the child's child may be 'O' with the right breeding combination however :)

No, a parent with AB blood cannot have a child with O blood type.

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.


Is possible for a father type A and mother type O to have child type B?

Blood type A only has two phenotypes which are IAIA or IAi. For a blood type of B, you have to have IBIB or IBi. So it isn't possible.


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.


Can a mother of 0 negative blood type and a father of A negative blood type have a child with AB blood type?

No they cannot. They can only have a child with type A or type O blood.


Is it possible for a male with A blood type to have a child with a female B blood type who is O?

Yes.... because the father and mother could be carrying the recessive 'O' Trait. the father could be AO and The Mother BO and if you take that and put it in a punnent square you see that there is a 25% chance that the child would have type O blood.

Is it possible to have a child with blood type AB when the mother having blood type O and the father having blood type A?

If the mother has O type blood and the father has A then the child could not have AB blood type. The possible blood types for these two people children would be type A and O. Lookup a Blood Type Calculator on the net and type in the different blood types and see the results.

Can a father with A Positive blood have a child with A Positive blood?

It depends. If the mother of the child is A positive as well, the child will be A positive. This is also true if the mother is a type O. It wont be possible if the mother is B positive, since the child will be AB positive (the blood types are codominant).
