We are looking for the possible blood types of the PARENTS.

Available information:

  • Baby is Type O = can only be OO
  • Father MUST contribute one O gene
  • Mother MUST contribute one O gene
Baby receives one gene from each parent:
  • Mom type AO + Dad type AO = Baby type OO, AO, AA
  • Mom type AO + Dad type BO = Baby type OO, AB, AO, BO
  • Mom type AO + Dad type OO = Baby type OO, AO
  • Mom type BO + Dad type BO = Baby type OO, BB, BO
  • Mom type BO + Dad type OO = Baby type OO, BO
  • Mom type OO + Dad type OO = Baby type OO
Generally as long as both parents contribute the O gene the baby will be Type O.

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.

How do you find out what blood type you are if your parents' blood types are O and A?

It's simple ask your Doctor for a "blood type" blood test. If your doctor has ever done blood work on you, he might have your type on file already!


What is the likelihood of a child's blood type being determined by the blood types of their parents?

The likelihood of a child's blood type being determined by the blood types of their parents is high, as blood type inheritance follows specific patterns based on the parents' blood types.


What two blood types from parents produce blood type A in child?

Parents must be blood type A or O. Any other blood type will not result in a sole A type child. It might result in several other combinations though, which are not relevant to this question.

Certain blood types are not obtainable in offspring when the parents have certain blood types.


Are daughter and father blood types the same?

Not necessarily. The blood type of a child is determined by the combination of the parents' blood types. It is possible for a daughter to have a different blood type than her father, depending on the specific blood type alleles inherited from both parents.

Do your children have to have same blood as you?

No - children do not have to have the same blood type as the parents. For example, if one parent has blood type A and the other has blood type AB, the child might have A, B or AB blood types. (For the child to have B, the parent with blood type A would need to be heterozygous, Ao)


Can a parent with ab plus and the other parent with o plus have a child with o plus?

Yes, it is possible for two parents, one with AB+ blood type and the other with O+ blood type, to have a child with O+ blood type. When two parents with different blood types have a child, the child's blood type can be a combination of the parents' blood types through genetic inheritance.


What some have o blood type where both parents are AB and B?

It is not possible for two parents with blood types AB and B to have a child with O blood type. A child's blood type is determined by the combination of their parents' genes, and O blood type requires both parents to have at least one O gene.


Are all children of same parents the same blood type?

of course they can, it doesnt mean that if you dont have the same blood type as your siblings, your adopted or something. if your parent's blood types differ from each other there is a huge tendency that the sibling's blood types are different from each other. for exaple your father is a heterozygous A while your mother is a heterozygous B.. their children's blood types can be AB, and an O can also be one of the possiblities.. if its too complicated to understand then you can just learn it from your genetic lessons in biology..
