Can an a negative mother and a b positive father have an o positive child?

Yes, it is possible that an A negative mother and a B positive father can have an O positive child. Because looking back to the basic of Genetics, Blood Banking, Immuno/Serology. A parents whose blood groups are A and B can possibly have all the blood groups in their offspring (A, B, AB, and O) most specially if both parents blood groups are A and B genotypes. When it says genotype, meaning the parents are either AO or BO. The genotypes are the genes/traits that are not expressed (recessive traits) or are hidden. Meaning that the O gene in an AO genotype blood is not expressed and only the A gene which is the Phenotype in that particular blood group is only expressed (dominant traits) thus showing as a type A blood, and same goes with the BO genotype blood group. So going back to the question if an A negative mother and a B positive father can have an O positive child, then the answer is YES most specially as I mentioned earlier if the both parents are A and B genotype blood group. Then when it comes to Rh grouping (being negative or positive) since both traits are present in the parents (A negative mother and B positive father) then all the offspring can inherit both traits.


Can a child have A negative blood type if the mom is o positive and dad is a positive?

Yes, if the child inherited the A blood type from the father and the Rh positive blood type from the mother.The mother has neither A nor B blood type genes and at least one Rh positive gene (possibly one Rh negative gene).The father has at least one A blood type gene (no B blood type gene) and two Rh negative genes.The possibilities for the child's blood type are:O negative (not possible if father has two A blood type genes or mother has two Rh positive genes)O positive (not possible if father has two A blood type genes)A negative (not possible if mother has two Rh positive genes)A positive (always a possibility with these parents)


If mother has Rh plus blood and father with Rh negtive what would the child be?

The child can have either Rh positive or Rh negative blood. More information is needed on the mother's genotype to know for sure. With the information currently given, the child has a 25% chance of being Rh negative.


What would be a child's blood type if the mother is a plus and the father is o plus?

Since the mother has an "O" blood type (which is recessive), she can only pass down "O" blood type alleles. This means both children must have at least one "O" allele (whether they express it depends on the allele they inherit from their father). Since the mother is RH positive, she has to have at least one positive allele. It is possible she carries a recessive RH negative allele. (An allele makes up half of your genes: one from dad, one from mom.) This being said, we can now determine what alleles the children got from the mother and, by process of elimination, what was inherited by the father. The O negative child would have two O alleles, which means the parents must each have had an O allele. The negative allele again is recessive, so for the child to express this, he/she must have gotten a negative allele from both parents. This confirms that the mother has a recessive negative allele, although her blood type is O positive. Now the B positive child gives us more limitations on what the father could be. The mother would have passed down an O allele to this second child, meaning that the B allele must have come from the father. The positive allele could have come from either the father or the mother (since the mother has a positive and negative allele), so it is undetermined what RH alleles the father completely has. Since the father must have an O allele to pass down to the first child, a negative allele to pass down to the first child, and a B allele to pass down to the second child, it leaves us with only two possibilities of the father's blood-type: B positive or B negative. Hopefully this helps, but do remember that blood type is not completely a reliable way to eliminate a father. Any mutations in the child's genes may have caused him to express an allele that was not from the father, thus a paternity test would still be needed to know for sure. But from what we learn in High School Biology, "B+" and "B-" would be the correct answers in this case and probably follow 90% of the time (I am estimating here.)


Can an o negative mother and a b positive father have a o positive daughter?

Yes. A parent either passes their type or the parent doesn't. In your case, your type is B, and you didn't pass this type to your child. The mother doesn't have either the A or the B type. The same goes with the RH.

Could an O-positive child have an A-positive mother?

Yes, if the mother had a genotype of AO and the father had one of XO (X being any group).


What is the chance of the mother being older than the father?

I don't really know the chances of this happening but I know that it is possible and there are many people with a mother that is older then there father.

Will there be any abnormalities for children if parents are both blood type AB?

Both parents being type AB does not cause problems, no. The child will be type A, B, or AB. However, if the mother is negative, and the father and child are positive, it is possible for the baby to be at risk.


Is it possible for a child to have o positive blood when the father has b positive and the mother has b negative?

Yes. Each person has two genes to make up their blood group and rhesus group, one from each parent. For blood groups, groups A and B are dominant over O, and for rhesus groups positive is dominant over negative. If you have one of each, your type will be whichever the dominant one is. Firstly looking at the blood group - an O group child can be born to group B parents if both the mother's and father's blood group genotype is BO. The child has a 25% chance of being BB (group B), 50% chance of being BO (group B) and 25% chance of being OO (group O). Looking at the rhesus group - mother's genotype must be Neg/Neg, father could be pos/pos, in which case the child will always be rhesus positive, or pos/neg where the child has a 50% chance of being rhesus positive, and 50% chance of being rhesus negative.


What blood type will the child be with parents blood type O positive father and mother O positive?

The baby can only be an O Blood Group as both parents can only be carrying 'O' type genes. The baby would have a 75% chance of being an O positive and a 25% chance of being an O negative. This is because the mother can only pass on a Rhesus negative gene but the father might either have two Rhesus positive genes or one Rhesus positive and one Rhesus negative. If the first is true the child will only be O positive, if the second is true it could be O positive or O negative depending on which gene the father passes.


When father is rh positive and mother is rh positive what type is the child?

This answer depends on the genotype of the father. If he is Rh positive, he will either be heterozygous (Rr) or homozygous dominant (RR). If he is homozygous dominant the child will definitely be Rh positive. The Punnet square would look like this: mother: ___r___ r father: R _______Rr___ Rr R _______Rr___ Rr So all children would be heterozygous, but still the positive would show because positive is dominant. If the father was heterozygous then the children would have a 50% chance of being Rh positive or negative. So theoretically half of the offspring would be Rh positive and the other negative. The Punnet Square looks like so: mother:____r___ r father: R ________Rr__ Rr r ________rr___ rr So, to answer your question. We don't know!


If the mother is B plus and the father is AB plus can the child's blood type be O positive?

No. For the mother to have a type B blood type, she would have to have a recessive gene O (as in BO) or B (as in BB). The father's gene would be AB. It is impossible for their child/children to be O positive. If the mother's recessive gene was O then their child would have 50% chance of being type B, 25% chance of being type AB and 25% chance of being type A. If the mother's recessive gene is B then their child would have a 50% chance of being type AB and 50% chance of being type B.
