Believe it or not, the answer is YES! Each parent carries what are known as alleles for blood protiens, which can be A, B or O. A and B are considered Dominant, and if one of them is present, the persons blood type will be the same as the domininant alelle. O is recessive, and unless neither A nor B are present for the other allele, the "O" will not be "visible". Folks that have AB blood type have codominance (one of each dominant allele). The rest of us who are either A or B (I'm A!) have one of the following combinations: AA (homozygus) Ao (Heterozygus) BB (Homozygus) Bo (Heterozygus). It's tough to draw a table in this space, but here's how it works when two people have a child (at least as far as blood type goes!) THe Mom's alleles are listed on the top here (for this example, they don't have to be) and the Dad's are listed down the left: Here we're looking at a heterozygus "A" Dominant mom and a heterozygus "B" dominant dad. Mom and dad each "donate" an allele to their child, and it can occur in one of four ways: the four possible ways are inside the square A o B AB Bo o Ao oo What this tells us is that with an A mom and a B dad, there's a 25% chance the baby will be AB, 25% chance B, 25% chance A, and 25% O. That said, here's some possibilities for the questioner: Even though I've never met them or tested their blood, I can be 100% sure that IF they truly are the parents of a type "O" baby, then they each are heterozygus dominant for the B allele (see below) B o B BB Bo o Bo oo That tells us that with two "B" parents, there's a 25% chance the offspring will be "O". As to the "Positive" or "Negative" aspect of blood type, that's a reference to the Rh factor. This is a little more complicated, but as long as one parent is positive, the baby will be positive. If both parents are positive, there's no doubt the baby will be too. So, if the questioner had said that they had an "O-" baby, I'd have to blow the whistle on that one! Congrats on the new kiddo!
What else can I help you with?
Can parents with A blood group have a child with O?
The child has A,O blood groups.
Can a child be have A minus blood type if parents are O plus and A plus?
Yes, according to the site at the link below, a child can have A- blood, given parents of O+ and A+.
If a woman with O blood has a child with a man with B blood could the child be A blood?
No, the child has to have one of the parents blood type.
Can o positive blood group and o positive blood group parents have child?
Yes, blood type has no bearing on weather or not the parents can have a child
Can child with AB- have parents with O blood?
If parents are O.Child is with O blood group.
Does a child blood group have to match with parents blood group?
No, a child's blood group does not have to match either parent's blood group exactly. A child's blood group is determined by a combination of the parents' blood types, following specific inheritance patterns. It is possible for a child's blood group to be different from that of their parents.
Can a child be born without the mother or the fathers blood type?
No, a child's blood type is determined by the combination of the parents' blood types. The child's blood type will always be a result of the parents' genetic information.
If both parents have o positive blood how can the child have o positive L blood?
if both parents have positive o blood their child must have positive o blood
What is the likelihood of a child's blood type being determined by the blood types of their parents?
The likelihood of a child's blood type being determined by the blood types of their parents is high, as blood type inheritance follows specific patterns based on the parents' blood types.
What will be the blood group of a child if the parents were bb?
If both parents are genotype BB, the child can only be blood type B. The child's genotype would also be BB.
Can two parents with O positive blood have a child with AB negative blood?
No. O is recessive. The parents would have to have A and B phenotypes in order for their child to have AB- blood.
Can a child with o negative blood have the same parents as a child with o positive blood?
yes
