We are looking for the possible blood types of a baby.

Parental information:

  • Mother type O pos -- can only be OO with Rh (++) or (+-)
  • Gene contribution = O, (+), (-)
  • Father type O pos -- can only be OO with Rh (++) or (+-)
  • Gene contribution = O, (+), (-)
Baby receives one gene from each parent:
  • Baby is type OO Rh (++) = O pos
  • Baby is type OO Rh (+-) = O pos
  • Baby is type OO Rh (--) = O neg
Since the parents only have an O gene to contribute, the baby will be OO.

Since they are both Rh positive, the baby may be Rh pos or Rh neg.

What are the chances of a child inheriting a positive blood type from parents who both have a positive blood type?

If both parents have a positive blood type, the chances of their child inheriting a positive blood type are 100.


What blood type can a baby be if the father and mother are both type B positive?

A baby can be any blood type that is possible through the combination of the parents' genetic material. In this case, the baby could be blood type B positive like the parents, or it could be blood type O positive if both parents are carriers of the O blood type gene.


Can a person that has o positive blood and a person with a positive blood make a child that has a negative blood?

Yes, it is possible for a child to have a negative blood type if both parents are carriers of the Rh negative gene, even if one parent is O positive and the other is A positive. Blood type inheritance is determined by a combination of both parents' blood types and Rh factors.


Can 0 positive parents born an A positive child?

No, two parents who are both blood type O positive cannot have a child who is blood type A positive. Blood type inheritance follows specific rules, and in this case, it is not possible for two O positive parents to have a child with blood type A positive.


If both parents are blood type o is it possible for their child to have a blood type a positive?

No, two type O parents can only have type O children. See the table below from www.dna-bioscience.co.uk/did_you_know_abo.shtml If you look at the row for mother's blood type O where it intersects with the column for father's blood type O, you will see that the child's blood type must be O. For the child to be Rh+, only one of the parents has to be Rh+.

Will parents with a positive blood type have children with a positive blood type?

Can a child have a negative blood types if the parents are both a positive?

Yes! Parents have two genes for pos/neg blood type, and only one of them needs to be positive for the parent to have positive blood type. Most positive-blooded people have one positive gene and one negative gene. If both positive parents pass on their negative gene, they can have a child with a negative blood type.


Can parents both have o positive blood type and have a child that has b positive blood type?

No. Generally when both parents are Type O+ they produce Type O+ or O- children. See also: http://www.bloodbook.com/inherited.html
