During meiosis (reproduction of sexual cells) the paired chromosomes are separated. Each gamete (sperm or ovum) contributes one chromosome to the zygote.
Therefore:
- Type AB - made up of one A gene and one B gene
- Type O - made up of two OO genes
- Mom AB + Dad OO = Baby type AO or BO [Type A is genetically AA or AO]
Instead, they have a combination of the parental genes = Types A and B.

∙ 15y agoBlood type is caused by the antigens on the red blood cells and antibodies in the plasma Type A has the A protein antigen and the Anti-B antibody. Type B has the B protein and the Anti-A antibody. Type AB has both the A and B protein and neither the Anti- A or Anti-B antibodies. It is known as the universal recipient. Type O has neither the A or B protein and both the Anti-A and Anti-B antibodies. It is the universal donor. Blood type is inherited from your parents.

To which blood type can A type donate?
Type A blood can only go to someone that also has type A. There is a protein in type A blood that would cause blood of other types to clump togather if it is mixed with them. Type B can only give to B, AB can only give to AB, but O blood is sort of special. In cases of an emergency, O blood could be given to people with any type, though. A little clumping would occur, but it would not be enough to cause problems. There is a lot of complicated anatomy in the blood that causes these problems. **Answer from another person** Type A blood can go to either another type A or type AB. Type B blood can go to either another type B or type AB. Type O can go to any blood type - O, A, B or AB hence it is known as the universal donor. While AB is the universal recipient - can receive any other type blood. It's also not true that clumping would occur when being given type O blood!!
I have blood type A, and I know that somehow type A is different from the other types, but I would like to know what they are.?

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.
