The difference in blood types between you and your twin brother is likely due to the specific combination of alleles inherited from your parents. Blood type is determined by the ABO gene, which has three main alleles: A, B, and O. If one parent carries the B allele and the other carries the O allele, you could inherit a B allele, resulting in a B blood type, while your twin brother could inherit two O alleles, resulting in an O blood type. This genetic variation is possible even in identical twins due to the random assortment of alleles during fertilization.
*Note from asker: Both my parents and at least one brother have B pos blood... Possibility of a throwback gene?
No, the o parent has to Have O,O alliesand the B parent would only have B,B or B,O allies. The only are B,O and O,O.
No, O and B blood type parents can not create an A blood type offspring. The only blood type offspring that can be created by these parents is O+, O-, B+, or B-.
No - blood type B cannot donate to blood type O. This is because blood type B contains B antigens, and blood type O contains Anti-B antibodies. However, blood type O can donate to blood type B.
Ab+ universal receiver o- universal donor blood types: can donate to: can receive from: ab+: ab+: ab+ ab- a+ a- b+ b- o+ o- ab-: ab+ ab-: ab- b- a- o- a+: a+ ab+: a+ a- o+ o- a-: a+ a- ab+ ab-: a- o- b+: b+ ab+: b+ b- o+ o- b-: b- b+ ab- ab+: b- o- 0+: o+ a+ b+ ab+: o- o+ o-: o+ o- a+ a- b+ b- ab+ ab-: o-
For a transfusion - blood type O can donate to blood type B. However, blood type O cannot except B-type blood. For offspring, with one O parent and one B parent - the child could be blood type O or B depending on the genotype of the parent with B-type blood.
Yes. They can have B+, B-, O+, and O-.
nope that is not possible according to the plummet square. The possibilities for you and your brother is 50% A or 50% B.
The types of blood include: A, B, AB, and O. (A-, A+, B-, B+, AB-, AB+, O-, O+)
Blood type O can donate to blood type B because blood type O lacks A and B antigens on the surface of red blood cells, and blood type B does not have antibodies against blood type O. This means there is no reaction when blood type O is transfused to blood type B.
Yes. parent with B and a parent with O blood traits can have the following blood types in their children : B, O, BO
Yes, any blood type can take from o blood. Everyone knows that, silly.- Everyone can take O- blood, but only positive blood types (O+, A+, B+ & AB+) can take O+ blood.
