Because of the process of crossing over that occurs during prophase I, and also because the child inherits half of its chromosomes from its mother and half from its father.
diploids cells have set (S)of chromosomes

An amphidiploid is an organism with a diploid set of chromosomes from each of its parents.
There are no homologous chromosomes in a haploid cell, as a haploid cell has only one set of chromosomes. One member of each pair of homologous chromosomes comes from one set, and the other member comes from the second set, so homologous chromosomes only exist in diploid cells.
A child inherits two sets of chromosomes which contain the genes. One member of each set comes from each parent.
A person inherits one set of 23 chromosomes from each parent
Because of the process of crossing over that occurs during prophase I, and also because the child inherits half of its chromosomes from its mother and half from its father.
In humans, each parent contributes 23 chromosomes.In general, each parent of any species contributes the haploid number of chromosomes, which is the number of chromosomes in a single set of chromosomes.

In human gametes, chromosomes are not paired. Instead, each gamete has one set of 23 chromosomes, and is said to be haploid.
There are no homologous chromosomes in a haploid cell, as a haploid cell has only one set of chromosomes. One member of each pair of homologous chromosomes comes from one set, and the other member comes from the second set, so homologous chromosomes only exist in diploid cells.
After fertilization, the new cell contains one set of chromosomes from each parent.
The short answer is YES. To explain as simply as possible; Each of us inherits a set of genes from each parent, a set of alleles from each parent; in the case of blood type, the alleles that may be present at the site on the chromosome responsible for blood type may be either A,B, or O (O actually being the absence of A or B). In the above question, if one parent's alleles are A and O (remember, everyone has two alleles), their blood type is A; if the other parent's alleles are B and O, that parent types as B. If their child inherits the "O" allele from each parent, that child will be type O.
