We are looking for the possible blood types of the PARENTS.

Available information:

  • Baby type A -- can be AA or AO
  • In order to be Type A, must receive an A from one parent & A/O from other one.
Baby receives one gene from each parent:
  • Mom type AA/AO + Dad type AA/AO = Baby AA, AO, OO
  • Mom type AA/AO + Dad type BO = Baby AO, AB, BO, OO
  • Mom type AA/AO + Dad type AB = Baby AA, AO, AB, BO
  • Mom type AA/AO + Dad type OO = Baby AO, OO
  • Mom type AB + Dad type AB = Baby AA, BB, AB
  • Mom type AB + Dad type OO = Baby AO, BO
  • Mom type AB + Dad type BO = Baby AO, BO, AB, BB
Dad cannot be BB, as that would result in AB or BO in the child. However, every other blood type would provide either the A or O gene as his contribution to the baby.
