Can 2 O+ have an O baby?

Can 2 O+ have an O baby?

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 Negative parents have an O positive child?

No, because to be rh negative, one must have TWO rh negative alleles. The rh factor is recessive. If both parents are rh negative, they must have ONLY rh negative alleles. Therefore they do not have any positive alleles to pass on to their children.

What if both parents have O blood type?

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.

What parents can make type O baby?

They are B blood type but can pass the O onto their kids. So two B parents can make an O child if both parents are BO.

Can 2 O blood types make an A?

ABO Blood Type The A and B genes are dominant and the O gene is recessive. For example, if an O gene is paired with an A gene, the blood type will be A. For instance, a parent with O blood with 2 O genes and a parent with A blood with 2 A genes will have an A blood type child with one A gene and one O gene.

Can you have two O Negative parents?

Short answer, no. If you are talking about either the ABO system, or Rh factor, one of the parents must have one of the antigens in order to produce a child with it. If both parents are “negative”, then they are both OO and have no gene for an antigen to pass on; they both contribute an “O”, and the child is also OO.

Can two O positive parents have an A positive child?

Two O parents will get an O child nearly all of the time. But it is technically possible for two O-type parents to have a child with A or B blood, and maybe even AB (although this is really unlikely). In fact, a child can get almost any kind of blood type if you consider the effect of mutations. How does this happen?

Can a blood type O produce a child?

For example, two O blood type parents can produce a child with only O blood type. Two parents with A blood type can produce a child with either A or O blood types. 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.

Can a mother give her baby an O blood group?

For instance – Mother with AB blood type can either pass the A or B allele to the baby. If both parents belong to the blood group O, the child will also belong to the O blood group. Two A blood group parents can give their child either A or O blood group. Two B blood group parents can give their child either B or O blood group.

Can a parent have an AB or O child?

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).

Is there only one way to get O, OO?

There is only one way to get AB, AB, and only one way to get O, OO. That is blood type in a nutshell! Your blood type depends on which version of the ABO gene you got from mom and which one you got from dad. Now let’s see how you ended up with A and B children.
