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

Parental information:

  • Mrs Smith = Type AO = contributes A or O gene
  • Her father Type A (AA/AO), Mother Type B (BB/BO)
  • Mr. Smith = Type AB = contributes A or B gene
  • Baby Type AB(?)
Baby Smith receives one gene from each parent:
  • Baby type AA,
  • Baby type AB
  • Baby type AO
  • Baby type BO
The baby has a 25% chance of having Type AB blood.

Can a mother with AB and father with O have a child with A blood?

NO


Can a mother of AB blood and a father that is O blood have a child with 0?

yes


Can a mother with b plus blood type and a father with b plus blood type have a baby with a blood type?

Yes, it is possible. The geneotype of the mother would be either BB or BO and for the father would be OO. If you cross the father's geneotype and either of the mother's then at least two of the four outcomes will be for B blood type. As for the - and +, positive is dominant over negative. The father could be + - or + + and the mother would be - -. Either combination would result in at least two positives. Therefore, it is possible for the mother to be B-, the father to be O+ and the baby to be B+. I added the link to the website where I got my info from. I want to know if an rh b neg blood type mother and an O positive father can have an A positive baby?


Whose DNA samples are required for DNA paternity testing?

A child inherits half of their DNA from the biological Mother and half their DNA from the biological Father. The DNA profiles are then compared (on a 16 genetic marker basis) to establish whether the alleged father is indeed the biological Father of the child. If the alleged father is the biological Father of the child, then all the loci will match and he will be included as being the Father with a guaranteed probability in excess of 99.99% when the mother is included. The probability is normally over 99.9% if the Mother is not included. If the man tested is not the biological Father of the child he will be 100% excluded resulting in a probability of paternity of 0%. http://www.homednadirect.co.uk/DNA-Paternity-test.html

Can a baby be born with B- blood if mother is O plus and father is B plus?

The mothers genotype is either OO++ or OO+-. If it is the former, then the child cannot be B-, so the mother has to be OO+-. The father is able to be either BB++, BB+-, BO++, or BO+-. If he is BB++ or BO++, then he cannot father a child to be B- by a OO+- mother. If he is either BB+- or BO+-, then it is entirely possible for he and an OO+- mother to have a child with phenotype B-. If the father is BB+- the probability is 25%. If he is BO+-, then the probability is 6.25%.

Could a father with a blood group ab have a child that is O blood group?

Absolutely. A child will either have its mother's blood type or its father's blood type. If the mother's blood type is NOT O, then someone else is the father.


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

No, because a baby gets their blood from their father, not their mother.


What blood type will the baby have with a mother with type a blood and father with type ab blood?

Can a father with A-negative blood have a child with A-positive blood?

Yes, a father with A negative blood can have a child with A positive blood. If he does, the mother must have a positive Rh factor, and the mother's blood type may be any of the possibilities.

If mother and father is A blood group can child be B positive?

If the mother is A, and the father is A, then the child will only have A antigens and will thus be blood type A. If father or mother are AB, then the child can end up with AB, A, or B blood type. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_type


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

Yes, a mother with negative and a father with O positive can have a baby with B positive. If they do, the mother must have blood type B or AB.
