Yes. You carry 2 genes (actually called alleles) for blood type. If you have an A and an O, and he has an A and an O, then you would both still have type A blood, and the baby could get an O from each of you (25% chance). If the baby gets an A from one and an O from another, or 2 A's, then it will have type A blood. The only type it can't get is AB or B.
As for the positive part, if you are both positive he will be too most likely.

Yes. Type A blood is a dominant trait. If both you and your boyfriend are actually Ao types - with a dominant A and a recessive O, your baby could receive an O gene from each of you and have Type O blood. It is less likely than it having A blood, but not impossible.
The RH Factor (+ or -) is not determined by parent's blood type and could be + or - for your child no matter what it's blood type - or your's.

No, the baby will have A+.
But persons with A Positive Type Blood can recieve the following types of blood:
A Positive
A Negative
O Positive
O Negative
A Positive type blood can be safely given to persons with blood types:
A Positive
AB Positive

It depends on the details of your blood type genes.
The gene for blood type has 3 possible values: A, B, or neither. The "B" is irrelevant in your case.
Everyone has 2 copies of the blood type gene (just like every other gene), one from each parent. If you have 2 "A" genes, you will have type "A" blood. If you have one "A" gene and one untyped gene, you will also have type "A" blood. If you have 2 untyped genes, you will have type "O" blood.
So, if both you and your boyfriend have only *one* "A" gene, then there's a 25% chance that your baby will have type "O" blood (only if she/he gets the untyped gene from both of you), and 75% will have type "A" blood. If *either* of you has 2 "A" genes, then all your babies will have type "A" blood.

No, the baby should have the father's primary blood type and either the mother or father's Rh factor. Your baby will be A positive unless you got pregnant by someone else.

Type A is dominant to type O. If you and your boyfriend are both heterozygous for A, meaning you are both AO, the it is possible to have an O child. Rh factor is inherited separately from the ABO grouping. And O is not scarce. 43% of Americans are type O.

I think so. My parents thought for about 20 years that i was A+ since they both are. I looked at my blood donor card and saw that it said O+. So, unless my blood is mislabled (I hope not) then I am O+ while my parents are both A+

no. Your blood type has to be the same as your mother's or your father's. It's genetically impossible for two A+ parents to have an o+ child

there are 3 genese that control blood type, A, B, and i. if you and your boyfriend both have the Ai alleles, there is a chance that they could recombine to form ii, the genotype for type o blood. so, theoretically it is possible to have type o blood.

NO. A+ + A+ = A+ That's why O type are scarce.
