NO. Not at all. Each parent has an A or a B to contribute to the child. Therefore, the only possibilities for the child are:

An A from each parent (making it an A)

A B from each parent (making it a B) and

An A from one, and a B from the other, (making it an AB).

This a super-simple answer. For more detail on ABO blood grouping, type in ABO on wiki.

Yes, if the father has type O blood. This is ordinary and not dangerous. The danger occurs when the woman is Rhesus negative (B- blood type) and the baby is Rhesus positive (O+ blood type). The woman's body may recognize the baby as a foreign entity (if the baby's blood enters the woman's bloodstream) and try to abort it.

That is not possible. The woman is either AA or Ai in alleles. The man is AB. A blood type O is ii. Each parent passes down one allele to the child. The man does not have the i allele to pass onto the child, and there's a possibility that the woman does not, either.

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

Parental information:

  • Mother type AB --can only be AB = contributes A or B gene
  • Father type B --can be BB or BO = contributes B or O gene
Baby receives one gene from each parent:
  • Baby is type AB = Type AB
  • Baby is type BB = Type B
  • Baby is type BO = Type B
Generally speaking, the baby must have two O genes to have Type O blood, and the mother can only contribute an A or B with her Type AB. Therefore this AB x B mating may not produce Type O children.

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.

If the baby's inhibitory gene has been turned "on", then no matter what ABO genes he receives from his parents, he will test out as a Type O.

A person with blood type AB cannot have a child with type O, regardless of who they mate with.

No, but the blood type of the child is also dependent on the father. If the father is blood type AB and the mother is O the child could either be blood type A or B.

Can a man with blood type b and a woman with blood type ab have a child with blood type b?

No. The father must be of type A if the child is and the mother is not.


What are the possible blood types of a child if a woman with Type A- blood marries a man with B?

It depends on the genotype of the parents: If they are AO and BO the child could be all of the 4 ABO-Bloodtypes: AO (= bloodtype A) BO (= bloodtype B) AB (= bloodtype AB) OO (= bloodtype O) If they are AA and BB the child could only be bloodtype AB If they are AO and BB the Child could be AB, or B (BO) If they are AA and BO the child could be AB or A (AO) In short, when the genotype is not given, the child can have any of the ABO-Bloodtypes


Is it possible for a woman with AB blood and a men with type B blood to have children with type A?

YES! If the woman has type AB blood type andthe man has type BO blood tye it is possible for them to have a child with AO blood type which registers as type A. It is rare though. Genetics tell us that they have a 50% chance of a baby with type B blood and a 25% chance of a baby with type AB blood. That means that they have a 25% chance of having a baby with type A blood. Remember this doesnt account for positive or negaive antibodies.


Can a child with type o blood have parents with ab blood?

"No, if each parent has AB then the child can be A, B or AB but not O." Not exactly. Yes, it IS possible for a child with Blood type O to have a parent with the AB Blood type although it is extremely rare. There are different reasons for this. One is the Bombay blood group. There is also Chimera, or 'vanishing twin'. In certain Asian groups, some of these folks have a rare version of the ABO blood type gene called cis-AB. People with this gene version have an AB blood type but can easily have an O child. I am an O blood type child of an AB blood type parent, although we are not of Asian/European descent. I also have other siblings who are Blood type O so I know it is possible.


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