The definition of heterozygous A means the parent has an A gene and an "i" or basically an "O" gene.

The heterozygous B parent has a B gene and an "i".

So the genotypes are Ai and Bi. If you set up a Punnet square, the four possible gene selections are AB, Ai, Bi, or ii. If the child has "ii" then it is said the child has O blood. The AB child has AB blood, the Ai child has A blood, and the Bi child has B blood.

(Remember this scenario does not take into account the negative and positive part of blood types. Such as O- and O+ both have O blood but one is O negative and the second is O positive. Your question didn't ask this but I have seen many "trick" questions in Biology classes where the negative and positive blood types are part of the answer.)

Hope this helps! :)

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.


Can two O positive blood types have a baby with A Negative?

Your question is incomplete, because you did not give the baby's blood type. If you just want to know if different blood types can have children together, the answer is yes. I can tell you that an O negative father and A negative mother can only have A negative or O negative children.


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.

Can a dad have a positive and mom have b positive?

I'm not sure what you mean by this but as for blood type, there's no reason two parents with different blood types can't have children. The children would have AB or O type blood depending on the recessives of the parents.


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..

Is there an RH type blood?

Blood types are hereditary. Your specific blood type is determined by the type of blood that your parents have. Remember that your blood type is determined by both your mom and your dad, so just because you have a specific blood type does not mean that your parents are the same or that your children will share your blood type.

No, it is impossible to get an A-type from two O-types.

Do children have the same blood type as their parent(s)?

More often than not, children share blood types with their parents. However, blood type is determined by two parts of a gene: one from each parent. So while two parents who are both type A blood have mostly type A children, they can also have children with type O blood.
