Yes, I will explain how.

A person with blood type AB has one A and one B gene. Only one is passed on to the child. So, for this question, the child got the B gene.

A person with blood type A can have either two A genes (AA) or one A and one O (AO). A is dominant to O, so A is the blood type expressed. Once again, only one gene is passed to the child. The mother in this case must be AO, because an AA mother could only pass on an A to the child. A+B=AB, because A and B are both dominant genes and are both expressed. The mother passed on the O gene.

So, the father is AB, the mother is AO, and the child is BO (type B).

Rh factor is passed on in the same way and also involves dominance. Positive (+) is dominant to negative (-). An Rh+ person can be (++) or (+-). An Rh- person has to be (--). For the child in this question that means both parents must have a (-) to pass on. This tells us that the father is (--) because we know he is Rh negative, and the mother is (+-) because we know she is Rh positive, but she also had to pass on a (-).

Father = AB(--)

Mother = AO(+-)

Child = BO(--)
