Yes. I am guessing you mean "AB Positive"
You can't tell anything by blood type.

You mean AB, I assume. And as far as I thought, you couldn't be AB without having a parent who was A and one who was B. The O and the B are definitely ok though. The way I understood biology (and to be fair, it was 12 years ago) was that two Os could only have an O; an O and a B could have O or B; and O and an A could have O or A; and A and a B could have O, A, B, or AB. I may be way off base here, but I believe that type A, B, and AB are like recessive or something. That is why there are way more Os than anything else.

You don't mention the Rh Factor of your mother, so I can't answer as to the Rh of the offspring. You also don't mention whether the "offspring" you are referring to is yourself or one of your brothers or sisters.
However, as to the ABO Type -- O is recessive; B is dominant. Your mother has 2 genes for Type O blood. Your father has at least one gene for Type B blood and the other one is either Type O or Type B. Therefore, the law of averages says that half their children would have Type O blood and half would have Type B blood. In order for a child to have Type AB blood, he would have to inherit a gene for Type A blood from one parent and a gene for Type B blood from the other parent. Since neither of your parents have a gene for Type A blood, neither can be the parent. So you or your sibling must be adopted.

No it is impossible for the offspring to be AB. Niether parents have a gene for A. The mother has two genes for O since it is recessive, and the father has one gene for B and one gene for O. I know this because one of the offspring is O, meaning that he had a gene for O as well to pass on. Offspring recieve one gene from each parent. The father is B because B is dominant over O.
As neither parent has a gene for A, the offspring can only be O or B. The Rh factor can probably be either, but you only mentioned that one of the sibilings was negative. Assuming everyone else is Rh+, then obviously the offspring can be either. This would be because both parents have one gene for Rh+ and one gene for Rh- (unless one parent is negative, then that parent would have two genes for Rh-).
Hope I helped.

that's the way it quite works. each and each of your mom and dad have 2 alleles - your mom has A and B and your father has O and O. O merely ability the absence of A or B. You inherited your B out of your mom and your O out of your father, so which you have B and O. the two BO and BB and recognized blood form B. The constructive/unfavourable are separate and you have got inherited the unfavourable out of your father.

Not looking like it.

no such type as AP ---- did you mean AB?
