Is it possible for parents to have a type O child if one parent is type A and the other type B?
A child with type O blood can have parents with type A, type B, or type O blood, but not type AB. Conversely, if two parents both have type O blood, all their children will have type O blood.
Can AB and O have an O child?
Can an AB father and an A mother have an O baby? Yes they can. An AB parent can indeed sometimes have an O child. But it is by no means common.
Can an O parent have an AB child?
In most cases, an O parent and an AB parent will have only A or B kids. It is only very rarely that they might have an AB or an O child (see the links at the end for these exceptions). It gives all the possible blood types of two parents and the most likely blood types for their children.)
Can O Negative parents have an O positive child?
A. Before I delve into the science, let me quickly stop any tongues that might be wagging if you are asking about a paternity debate: Yes, two O-positive parents could have any number of O-negative children. In fact, according to the experts, most children who are O-negative have parents who are O-positive.
Can 2 O positive parents have an O negative child?
Can one parent with blood type AB have a child with O?
Type O blood requires 2 O genes; type AB blood is from 1 A gene & 1 B gene. Any children would have a 50–50 chance of being either type A or type B. Originally Answered: if one parent is blood type “AB” can they have a child with type “O”? No, you cannot.
Why can’t I have an O child if I have AB?
The reason why an AB parent usually does not have an O child has to do with how blood type normally works genetically. Remember, we have two copies of each of our genes – one from mom and one from dad. This is true of the blood type (or ABO) gene as well. The ABO gene comes in three varieties: A, B, and O.
Can two people with B blood type have a baby?
Two parents with B blood type can produce a child with either B or O blood type. One parent with A and another with B can produce a child with A, B, AB or O blood types. If one parent has A and another has AB, they can either produce a child with A, B or AB blood types.
How common is it to have a different blood type from parents?
Believe it or not, in this case having a blood type different from either parent is by far the most common result. In most cases, an O parent and an AB parent will have only A or B kids. It is only very rarely that they might have an AB or an O child (see the links at the end for these exceptions).
