This is a common misconception, that parents with type A or B or AB blood cannot have an O child. There are four blood types : A, B, AB, and O. When a baby is created, the mother donates one gene, and the father donates another. Therefore the baby has TWO genes coding for its blood type. The A gene and B gene are co-dominant. This means that if Mom gives baby an A gene, and Dad gives baby a B gene, both will be expressed through the blood group. THUS, baby is AB. However, the O gene is recessive. This means that if mom gives baby an A gene, and Dad gives baby an O gene, only the A gene is expressed. THUS baby's blood type is A. Therefore, people who type as an "A" can also carry the O gene - it is simply not expressed. Same theory applies to "B" type people. "AB" people carry only A and B, therefore, AB people should be theoretically incapable of creating an O child (save and except for a rare genetic transloation which can occurs called cis-AB). THEREFORE: if your mom is A (she can really be AA or AO) and your dad is B (again he can be BB or BO), and both carry the O Gene (i.e. AO & BO) The O genes may be passed on to you! Only when TWO O genes are inherited (OO) does a person express an O blood type. This being said, O blood types do not carry ABO antigens on their surface, unlike A cells, B cells, and AB cells. Therefore, O cells are essentially a "blank slate". This is ideal for people in need of blood immediately: a person of ANY blood type (A, B, AB, or O) can receive O blood.

If both parents have blood type O, then the baby's blood type will also be O. Blood type O is recessive, so both parents must have two O alleles to pass on an O blood type to their child.
If both parents are type O, they will always produce type O offspring.
No they cannot. They can only have a child with type A or type O blood.
Blood type can be determined from parents by looking at their blood types and using the principles of genetics. A child's blood type is determined by the combination of blood type genes inherited from their parents. For example, if both parents have type A blood, their child could have either type A or type O blood. If one parent has type A blood and the other has type B blood, their child could have type A, type B, type AB, or type O blood.
Yes, it is possible for two parents who are both blood group O to have a child who is blood group A. This can occur if both parents carry the A allele in their genes, even though their own blood types are O.
The parents must have both blood type B or blood type 0 and B.
No way...
If both parents have blood type O, then the baby's blood type will also be O. Blood type O is recessive, so both parents must have two O alleles to pass on an O blood type to their child.
Yes, O negative
Yes, they can have a child with blood type AB, which is the rarest of the four types.
There is 50% that children will be of negative blood type if parents are heterozygous positive. 25% if one parent is homozygous and other heterozygous. 0% if both homozygous.
No.
Yes, a baby can have problems no matter what blood type.
No. Often a child can have a completely different blood type from their parents or even the same. It really depends on their genetics.Some combinations of parents are unable to get children with certain blood types - assuming no mutations occur.Regarding the AB0-system:If both parents have blood type 0, all their children will have blood type 0.If both parents have blood type A, no children will have blood type B or AB.If both parents have blood type B, no children will have blood type A or AB.If both parents have blood type AB, no children will have blood type 0.Of course you can be more specific if you know the parents' genes.
No, they can't. But they can have kids with type 0.
If both parents are type O, they will always produce type O offspring.
Your mother would have to be type O negative for you to have a blood type of O positive. This is because the O blood type is recessive, so both parents would need to pass on the O gene for their child to have type O blood.
