Yes. Everyone carries a pair of genes for every trait (eyes, hair, even blood type). One is dominant and one is recessive.

One of these parents likely a carried the B-Neg blood type on a recessive gene and it was expressed as a dominant trait in the baby.

Why do rh positive parents have an rh negative baby?

Each person carries two bits of rh imformation, called alleles, and each can be positive or negative. A person is rh+ if they have at least one positive allele. Only if both their alleles are negative are they considered as rh-. When two parents have a baby, they each pass one allele on. So if both parent has one positive and one negative allele, and both passed on their negative allele to their baby, then the baby would be rh negative. The chances of two rh positive parents having a rh negative baby are about 18%.


Mother and father both rh positive what will baby be?

If both parents are Rh positive, the baby has about a 93% chance of being Rh positive as well. However, without knowing the genotype of the parents (i.e., whether they are homozygous or heterozygous for the Rh factor), it is not possible to predict the baby's Rh status with certainty.


Can the firstborn baby be Rh negative?

Yes, the firstborn baby can be Rh negative if both parents carry the Rh-negative gene. The Rh factor is inherited from the parents, and if the mother is Rh negative and the father is also Rh negative, their child will be Rh negative. However, if the mother is Rh positive and the father is Rh negative, the child can either be Rh positive or Rh negative depending on the specific alleles inherited.


Can a O negative parent and an RH O negative parent make a positive baby?

No, if both parents are O negative (meaning they do not have the Rh antigen), they cannot have a Rh positive baby. RH positive blood type requires the presence of the Rh antigen when processing blood types.


Can a child born with rh negative blood type be the offspring of an o positive father?

It depends on the genotype of the Rh+ parent. If that person is heterozygous, then yes there is a 50% chance of an Rh- baby.Father's Group (negative)Mother's Group (positive heterozygous)Rh +Rh -Rh -Rh +, Rh -Rh -, Rh -Rh -Rh +, Rh -Rh - Rh -http://www.bloodbook.com/inherited.htmlIf the positive parent is homozygous, the baby will be positive:Father's Group (negative)Mother's Group (positive homozygous)Rh +Rh +Rh -Rh +, Rh -Rh +, Rh -Rh -Rh +, Rh -Rh + Rh -

Can a baby be born with positive blood if both parents are negative?

No. If both parents are Rh negative, they are homozygous recessive for the Rh factor and can only pass on recessive alleles to their children, and a positive Rh factor is a dominant trait.

Can an O plus and a B plus have an O plus?

Yes. O, Rh positive and B, Rh positive parents may produce an O, Rh positive child.


Can two O neg people have an A plus baby?

NO. The alleles that lead to "O-type" blood are recessive to the alleles that lead to "A-type" blood and the child would have to inherit this "A" from one of his/her parents. Given that both parents are "O", there is nobody to inherit the "A" from. (This issue also presents with the exclusive RH- in the parents and RH+ in the child, because RH+ is dominant over the recessive RH-.)


Mother is o positive and father is o positive Does this mean baby will be o positive?

No. There's a small chance the baby will be O negative--if both parents have an Rh negative (recessive) allele, and the baby inherits this allele from both parents, the baby would be Rh negative. But if the baby inherits the Rh positive allele from either parent, the baby will be Rh positive.


If the parents are Rh positive could they produce an Rh negative child or just Rh positive offspring?

We are looking for the possible Rh blood types of a baby.Parental information:Mother Rh pos -- can be (++) or (+-) = contributes (+) or (-) geneFather Rh pos -- can be (++) or (+-) = contributes (+) or (-) geneBaby receives one gene from each parent: Baby is Rh (++) = Rh posBaby is Rh (+-) = Rh posBaby is Rh (--) = Rh negTherefore, depending on the exact genetics of the parents, the baby may be Rh positive or negative.


Can baby be negative if mom is positive and dad negative?

It takes two rh negative parents to produce an rh negative baby.

However, if the mother is Rh positive and the father is Rh negative, the child can either be Rh positive or Rh negative depending on the specific alleles inherited.


Can a man with O rh plus and a woman with O rh plus have a child with O rh- blood?

Yes - it is possible. Firstly, if both parents have the blood type O, then the child must also have blood type O. Rh positive is dominant, so a person who is Rh + may be heterozygous (Rh+/Rh-). Both parents in this case would need to be heterozygous for the child to be Rh-.


Can an AB blood and B blood parent can have an A plus blood baby?

Yes - AB Parent has genotype IA IB . If the parent with B blood has the genotype IBi, which is entirely possible, then there is a chance that the baby would be IAi, and would have type A blood. Plus/minus has to do with the RH factor in blood, so you can't tell from the information given whether the baby could be "plus". If one of the parents is RH+, the baby could be as well.


How does having Rh positive mother and Rh positive father effect baby?

Generally the baby will also be Rh positive (depending on the parents' specific genotypes) - and thus be at less risk for erythroblastosis fetalis.
