If your father has type A blood and your mother has type O blood, then the only possible blood types for their offspring are type A and type O.

If you have type B blood, then one of your parents must have had either type B or type AB blood. It is possible that one of your parents is mistaken about his or her blood type or that the blood test results were inaccurate. It is possible that you are adopted. It is possible that one of your parents is not your biological parent, although this does not mean an affair, since sperm donation is a possibility.

Because of a relative having an unusual blood type situation, I discussed it with a geneticist. A bone marrow transplant can occasionally change a person's blood type. Or, whoever did your blood test might have been slow (e.g., interrupted) or inexperienced in processing the sample (e.g., a high school science class), so you might have blood type O but appear to be blood type B. Or, your mother might have the Bombay phenotype that means she has a B, but appears to be an O. (This is what my relative probably had, which was why his blood type test results alternated.) It is also possible that one of your parents is a chimera, but I was told that this was the least likely possibility, so if you want more information on chimeras, check the Wikipedia link below.

YES

In the ABO blood system A and B are co-dominant, O recessive. So your dad is O/O and your mum either B/B or B/O. So you could be B/O (blood group B) or O/O (blood group O)

In the Rhesus blood system, + is dominant over -. so your dad is -/-, and you mum either +/+ or +/-. You could be +/- (positive) or -/- (negative).

So yes, you can be B negative.The only things you can't be are AB or A blood groups.

If one parent has a blood type of B-positive and the other has A-positive can their child have B-negative?

No. A person's blood type is made of up contributions from both your mother and your father. O blood types (whether positive or negative) are really OO. So no matter whether you get the first O or the second O, all resulting children must be OO. For example, my mother is an OO, and my supposed father was an AO. I am a type B, so there is no way that I am that man's child (my mother just recently confirmed that there could have been someone else). Blood types resulting from my mother and "father" could be A (AO), or O (OO), but that is it. O is a recessionary gene, that is why a person with type O blood can only contribute O's to their children. In order to be type O, you must be an OO.


What is nonfunctional DNA?

Nonfunctional DNA is actually not a very accurate term to call it. What you are referring to is the space of DNA that until recently, scientists believed did nothing for the cell or body. Recently however, it has been found that there are "Switches" that turn on and off the coding for certain characteristics that are read during protein synthesis.

Where globally can you move if you are HIV positive?

You can go anywhere you wish, there are no restrictions on travel if you are HIV Positive. Actually this is not true. There are MANY restrictions in MANY countries if you are HIV positive. Unless you lied, you could not even VISIT the US if you were HIV positive until very recently (obama changed this law) but unfortunately you can NOT get a visa to move to MOST countries if you are in fact HIV positive.


What can make a pregnancy test read a false positive?

There are a few factors that can result in a false positive. Most of the time though false positives are rare! I recently experienced this. I have 4 children and have never had a false positive! My test never showed up unless I was pregnant. I recently had 5 tests show a faint positive and went to the doctor for blood test which was negative. I was told that a cyst on your ovaries can sometimes make a test appear positive (false positive). Other factors include chemical pregnancy. This is one where everything develops as though you are pregnant, except for the baby. If you are on any medication that contains the pregnancy hormone (HCG), this also can make your test turn up positive. It is best to have a blood test done by the doctor to totally insure you are not pregnant.

Your daughter wears a drug patch she denies using cocaine but patch reads positive could there be false positives with patches what are the odds?

Have a blood test done ... have the lab check for signs of any illegal drugs. Drug tests can sometimes cause false positives. Cocaine can show as a positive if the person recently took various diet pills, including prescription, or those with ephedrine, or even "energy pills" with ephedrine. Opium can be a false positive if the person recently ate any poppy seed bagels (if the poppy seeds consumed was in an very large amount in a short amount of time.) However, the likelihood of these false positives are a lot more rarer than folks wish they would be. Chances are, that it is truly positive.


Why should a person that takes an hiv test today also take one in 3 months?

A person may be infected with HIV, but not test positive. It will take time for the virus to spread throughout the body and therefore when they first get infected they will often yield a negative test result since the concentration in the body at that time is still very small. After 3 months if a person tested negative the first time and negative the second time there is very little doubt on whether or not the patient has HIV. However, without the second test 3 months later a person who recently got infected before the original test would have shown a negative test result and actually had HIV.
