Is it true that to have a child with O blood type both parents have to be O type?

No, this is not true. The child has to inherit two type O genes, however. Blood type is inherited as a co-dominant factor. For instance: Mom is A+, but her blood type genes are A and O. Because of the codominant nature of blood types inheritance, her blood is type A. Dad is O-. He has two type O genes. If, during fertilization, an ovum from the mother with type O gene combines with one of Dad's spermatozoa, the child will be type O. If an ovum with type A gene is fertilized, however, the resultant child will have type A blood. Same goes for mom who is A and dad who is B, so long as their genes are A/O and B/O, they can still have a type O child. If mom is A/O and dad is B/B, however, there is no chance the child will have type O. The child could have type B (B/O pairing) or AB, however.


What can a person with type B blood receive?

a person with O+/- blood can only receive O+/- blood respectively. O+ can give blood to any other + blood type, and O- can give blood to anyone.


If a mother has blood type o and a father has blood type o what type will the children have?

The children would have to have blood type o. If both parents are negative then the children will have to be negative. If one or both parents are positive the children can be positive or negative.


Is Selena Gomez's blood type o positive or o negative?

Selena Gomez's blood type is said to be O positive.


If the blood type of your mother is B and your fateher is O what is your blood type?

You could be blood type B or O, as you inherit one blood type allele from each parent. If you inherit a B allele from your mother and an O allele from your father, you would be blood type B. If you inherit an O allele from both parents, you would be blood type O.
