For a baby to have the 0 type blood what should the parents blood type be?

In human blood there are three different alleles (A, B O). Every person has two of these, and passes on ONE to their biological offspring -- one from mother and one from father. A and B alleles are dominant, which means that, if present, they will always show up. O is recessive, which means that it will only show up if there is no dominant allele present. Alleles passed from Parent1+Parent2 form blood types as follows: A+A = Blood Type A A+O = Blood Type A A+B = Blood Type AB B+B = Blood Type B B+O = Blood Type B O+O = Blood Type O Since the O allele is recessive, for a baby to have O type blood, both parents must also be O type.


Can parents with o blood type to have a child with a blood type?

Father is A negative mother A plus can the child be O plus?

Yes, if both the father and mother have the genotype of AO, then they would both show up as phenotype A and they could have a child with type O blood. As O is recessive, the type A would be dominant and therefore show up as the blood type. The mother could contribute the positive Rh factor leading to type O+ in the child.

O positive is the most common blood type making up about 38% of the population.

If the mother is of 'o' blood group and child is also of 'o' blood group what will be the blood group of father?

The father would be 'o' because 'o' is recessive. That means that its a weaker gene, so other genes are more dominate. So if there was another gene the baby would be that blood type not 'o'. For more help Google 'Punnet Squares'


What blood groups enables a person to donate blood to other person?

Anyone can donate blood.The tricky part is deciding which person can receive your blood - it's based on blood types. Type O, for example, can only receive more type O and you also have to match up the Rh factor for + or - (+ can receive anything, - can only take more - blood). Type AB can receive any blood so long as the Rh factor matches up properly.
