What are the possible blood types of the child if the father has AB blood type and the mother has a blood type?

Determining Blood Type Compatibility

Before selecting a sperm donor, predict your blood type and Rh compatibility

When selecting a sperm donor, your blood type compatibility is important to consider. His blood type along with the blood type of the mother can be used to predict the possible blood types of their offspring. Please consult your physician about any ABO or Rh compatibility issues in a future pregnancy. Women that are Rh- who select a Rh+ donor may require treatment with Rhogam during pregnancy. It’s important to discuss this with your physician before you get started.

Note: In cases where the mother is Rh- and the donor is Rh+, Rhogam is recommended.

Blood Type Compatability Predictor FAQs

Is it possible for a child to have different blood type than both of its parents?

Yes, a child is able to have a different blood type than both parents.

Which parent decides the blood type of the child?

The child’s blood type is decided by both parents’ blood type. Parents all pass along one of their 2 alleles to make up their child’s blood type.

There are 4 maternal blood types and 4 paternal blood types, so there are 16 total combinations to consider when predicting the child’s blood type.

If someone with AB (alleles #i^A# and #i^B#) has children with someone with O blood type (alleles #i# and #i#), 50% of the children will be A, 50% of the children will be B.

As the person with the O blood type can only pass on the #i# gene, the children's blood type depends on the other parent.

If the other parent (the biological father) passes on the #i^A# gene, then the child will have A blood type (#i^A# and #i^B# are dominant over #i#). On the other hand, if the biological father passes on the #i^B# gene, the child will have B blood type.

Actually the offspring will carry O but will express A or B. You have to take the recessive in to account when determining the blood type of your offspring.

What are the possible blood types of the child if the father has AB blood type and the mother has a blood type?

The correct option is CEither A or BIf the father’s blood group is O, he has the genotype IOIO or (ii). The mother has blood type AB, which means that her genotype would be IAIB. The possible combinations of these two groups would result in children having genotypes IAIO orIBIO, which would give them blood groups A or B respectively. Thus, blood group O cannot appear among children if one of the parents has the group AB.

What are the possible blood types of the child if the father has AB blood type and the mother has zero blood type?

In most cases, an O parent and an AB parent will have only A or B kids. I added a table at the end of this answer that has all blood type combinations for two parents plus the possible blood types for their children. Exceptions to these rules are extremely rare.

What blood type if parents are AB and A?

If one parent has A and another has AB, they can either produce a child with A, B or AB blood types. If one parent has A and another has O, they can either produce a child with A or O blood types.

Can a father of AB blood type have O child?

An AB parent can indeed sometimes have an O child. But it is by no means common. In fact it would be fair to say that it is exceedingly rare. Usually, an AB parent and an A parent can only have children who are Type A or Type B.

What blood type does AB+ and O+ make?

If a father's blood group is o+ and mothers's is AB+, what would their children be? The genotype of the father or possible genes he could pass on would be O O; the mother, A B. The genotype of the children would be AO & BO.
