The gene for blood type O is recessive. The mother can only have the phenotype O if she has the genotype OO.
The gene for blood type B is dominant, the father has the phenotype B, but can have the genotype BB or BO.
If the father is genotype BB, the child will be B + O = BO genotype; hence B phenotype.
If the father is genotype BO, the child can be B + O = BO genotype; hence B phenotype (50% chance). Or O + O = OO genotype (O phenotype, 50% chance).
* Phenotype = displayed trait that can be found with a simple blood test.
* Genotype = genetic make up (one part from each parent), this requires a DNA test to be confirmed; however, it can sometimes be deduced by logic.
No, two O positive parents cannot have an AB positive baby. Inheritance of blood type follows specific patterns, and a child cannot have a blood type that is not possible based on the parents' blood types.
No, two parents with O type blood cannot have a child with B type blood. This is because O is recessive - meaning in order to have type O blood, you need to have two O alleles. Therefore if both parents have O blood, all their children have to have O type blood. In order to have a child with B type blood, at least one parent needs to have B or AB type blood - in order to donate the B allele to the child.
it it possible if someone from either parents' family has had it or haves it because of genes
One of the parents must be A or AB, and one must be positive.
If you're talking RH Factor (i.e., you are O-Positive, and your wife is O-Positive) then the baby will be O-Positive. If both the RH Factors are positive, then the baby will be positive.
No, two O positive parents cannot have an AB positive baby. Inheritance of blood type follows specific patterns, and a child cannot have a blood type that is not possible based on the parents' blood types.
Another has said: no chance. One of the parents must be b positive.
No, it is not possible.
No, it will not.
yes it is possible, blood groups do not work that way.
No, this can't happen, if two parents are O blood type, all kinds will be O.
A baby can be any blood type that is possible through the combination of the parents' genetic material. In this case, the baby could be blood type B positive like the parents, or it could be blood type O positive if both parents are carriers of the O blood type gene.
Yes
I'll wait for you to ask the question. Positive parents can have a negative baby as positive is dominant so they may both have one positive and one negative gene and the baby gets the two negative genes.
The blood type would be A positive.
The baby can have either O- or O+ blood type.
Yes! Yes indeed. Does the baby look like the mailman? No. O parents can't make AB babies.
