We are looking for the possible blood types of a PARENT.
Available information:
HOWEVER: There is more to ABO blood typing that just the ABO gene.
There is also an inhibitory gene that will change any genotype into the phenotype O.
Therefore a person with genetically AB blood can be tested as having Type O.
If the baby's inhibitory gene has been turned "on", then no matter what ABO genes he receives from his parents, he will test out as a Type O.
"No, if each parent has AB then the child can be A, B or AB but not O." Not exactly. Yes, it IS possible for a child with Blood type O to have a parent with the AB Blood type although it is extremely rare. There are different reasons for this. One is the Bombay blood group. There is also Chimera, or 'vanishing twin'. In certain Asian groups, some of these folks have a rare version of the ABO blood type gene called cis-AB. People with this gene version have an AB blood type but can easily have an O child. I am an O blood type child of an AB blood type parent, although we are not of Asian/European descent. I also have other siblings who are Blood type O so I know it is possible.
No, a child cannot have blood type O if one parent is blood type AB and the other parent is blood type A. Blood type O is inherited when both parents contribute an O allele, which is not present in this case.
No, a father with blood type O cannot be the biological father of a child with blood type AB. Blood type O can only contribute an O allele to the child, not an A or B allele required for blood type AB.
The child must have inherited at least one A allele and one B allele from their parents. The child could have inherited an A allele from one parent and a B allele from the other parent, or may have inherited an AB genotype from one parent.
We are looking for the possible blood types of a baby.Parental information:Mrs Smith = Type AO = contributes A or O geneHer father Type A (AA/AO), Mother Type B (BB/BO)Mr. Smith = Type AB = contributes A or B geneBaby Type AB(?)Baby Smith receives one gene from each parent: Baby type AA,Baby type ABBaby type AOBaby type BOThe baby has a 25% chance of having Type AB blood.
the child takes the A gene from one parent and B from the other. And the both of parent are supposed to be AB blood type, or one A blood type and the other B.
No.
The child can have the same blood type. It is possible if the child obtains the allele IA from one parent and IB from the other. So if a person with blood type AB provides IA or IB and the other parent provides the other allele, then the child may have the same blood type i.e. AB positive.
A B+ parent can have a child with A+ blood. The other parent must be type A or type AB for this to occur.
No. A and B are dominant blood types and O is recessive. A parent with blood type AB can only donate a dominant A or dominant B. A child with blood type O would need to come from parents with one of the following combinations: A-A, A-B, A-O, B-O, O-O

Either A or B; AB and O are impossible.
No. B type can only have B, O, and AB. A child with A blood would have to have at least one parent be A or AB.
Yes. A mother with blood type A (AO) and a father with blood type B (BO) can have a child with blood type O (OO), one O from each parent. An AB parent and a A (AO) parent can have an B child (BO), an AB and a B (BO) can have an A (AO). An AB parent can never have an O child because it requires two recessive genes and an AB parent cannot donate a recessive O.
yes
it can be rare only
