Type O blood is names such because it lacks the A and B antigens found in A, B, and AB type blood. O type blood can be given to people with all other types of blood. However, People with O type blood can only be given O type blood.

What are the Sideeffects on children if parents have same blood group O?
There is no problem for two parents having the same blood type to get married, it's just because both of them have the ( O blood type ) all the children will be ( O type ). The characteristics of ( O type ) in the field of blood transfusion, that the person with this type can receive blood from others only if it is (O), and they can donate blood to any type. in summery : O type is a general donor, but a limited receiver for it self.
Aaron has blood type O. Can either of his parent have blood type AB?
no, blood type AB has gennotype IA,IB while blood type o has the genotype II. Each of his parents passed on an allele,So neither could have blood type AB
Could your blood type be o or b if your fathers is blood type o dominant and your mothers is blood type b dominant?
Yes - blood type O or B are the only possibilities. Each parent donates one allele to the child. The parent with blood type O must donate an O. The parent with blood type be will donate either a B or an O - they can only donate an O if they are heterozygous, BO.
What are the abbreviations for each type of blood?
The four blood types are Type A, Type B,Type AB,and Type O. Type O is the most common with 46% of population with that blood type, followed by Type A with 39%.
Can mother have o positive blood and father a positive blood and the child have a negative blood?
Yes. Regarding blood type, each person has two blood group genes--one from each parent. The blood types sort like this: For blood type O: O/O For blood type A: either A/A or A/O For blood type B: either B/B or B/O For blood type AB: A/B Thus two parents who are A/O (and are therefore blood group A) can have a child who is O/O if they both give the O gene, resulting in blood group O. Regarding Rh type, each parent also give one gene, either Rh - or Rh +. An Rh + person can be either +/+ or +/-: and Rh - person is -/-. To summarize: a mother who is A/O and Rh +/- (and thus A positive) and a father who is A/O and Rh -/- (and thus A negative) can have a child who is O/O and Rh +/- (and thus O positive).
Can parents who are blood type A and blood type O have a blood type O child?
We are looking for the possible blood types of a baby.Parental information:Mother type O --can only be OO = contributes O geneFather type A --can be AA or AO = contributes A or O geneBaby receives one gene from each parent: Baby is type AO = Type ABaby is type OO = Type OYES, the baby will have either Type A or O blood.
Why do you have blood type O and your parents each have different blood types?
We are looking Type O blood with parents of different blood types. Parental information:Mother type A -- can be AA or AO therefore can contribute A or OFather type B -- can be BB or BO therefore can contribute B or OBaby receives one gene from each parent: Baby is type BOBaby is type AOBaby is type ABBaby is type OOThe one parental blood type that a Type O baby generally cannot have is a type AB parent, since Type O requires the contribution of O from each parent.
Can type b and type O blood make type AB blood?
No. Blood type O is recessive; you need an O gene from each parent. B can either be BB or BO but AB is either AB or BA, and cannot pass on an O gene.
What blood type of a child if the father is blood type o and a mother is type o?
As O is a recessive allele, each parent must be OO, so the offspring would receive an O allele from each parent, meaning they would also be OO, and would test as O.
What two blood types are not compatible?
More than just two blood types are not compatible with each other. The four basic types of blood are: A, B, AB, O(not counting Rh). Type A blood can only receive blood from type A and type O. However, type A blood can donate their blood to type A and type AB. Type B blood can only receive blood from type B and type O. However, type B blood can donate their blood to type B and type AB. Type AB blood can receive blood from every type, A, B, AB, and O. However, type AB blood can only donate to other AB. Type O blood can only receive blood from type O. However, type O can donate their blood to A, B, AB, and O. So, AB is the "universal" reciepient and O is the "universal" donor.
What can a person with type B blood receive?
a person with O+/- blood can only receive O+/- blood respectively. O+ can give blood to any other + blood type, and O- can give blood to anyone.
Is O blood type universal?
Type O blood is considered to be the universal blood type. This is because it does not have either A or B antigens on the red cells. It does however contain the antibodies for each one in the plasma.
