WHAT BLOOD TYPE WOULD A MOTHER NEED TO HAVE TO HAVE A B TYPE CHILD WITH A AB FATHER?

To have a B type child with an AB father, the mother must have either B or O blood type. If the mother has B blood type, she can pass on either a B or O allele, while the AB father can pass on either an A or B allele. If the mother has O blood type, she can only pass on an O allele, which would result in a B type child when combined with the B allele from the AB father.

Can a mother pass on a y chromosome to its child?

No. If it is a mother, that infers that the organism is female. The feature that determines gender is the 23rd set of chromosomes. A female can only result if the pair is XX (XY results in a male). Therefore, a mother cannot pass on a Y chromosome to her child. If you are wondering whether by cause of a genetic mutation the mother happens to have a Y chromosome, then she would not be a mother, as she would be infertile.


Can b positive child have an a negative father?

Yes, it is possible for a child to have a different blood type than their father. A child inherits one blood type allele from each parent, so if the child receives a B allele from their mother and an A allele from their father, they can have blood type B.

Can an O positive mother and a B positive father have a B negative child?

Yes. If both parents are heterozygous for the Rh factor, each could pass on a recessive Rh negative allele to the child. Since the father has the B blood group, it is possible for him to pass on his B allele to the child. So these two parents could have a B negative child.
