Not necessarily. Have a look here. It explains it quite well.

It's a common misconception that your father's blood group determines your own blood group. Your blood group is determined by the blood groups of both parents. Of the four main blood groups (O, A, B, and AB) only one combination of parental blood groups will produce only one possible blood group in the child (and that is where both parents are O, the children will all be O). My mother is O and my father was AB - my two sisters and I are all blood group A, so we don't even have the same blood group as either parent. It is possible. See the webpage below for more information.

We will not have the same blood group necessarily, but we will have a genetic make up derived from their genes. It depends if the parents genes are homozygous (paired AA, BB, or OO) or heterozygous (AO, BO, AB)
It is possible to have a mother with type A (heterozygous AO) and a father with type B (heterozygous BO) and have four children each with a different blood group: AO, BO, AB, or OO.
If both parents are type O, then all children will be type O because type O is homozygous (OO).
It is also possible for a mother with a negative blood type to have a baby with a positive blood type if the father has a positive blood type. This can present a dangerous situation as the mother's antibodies can attack the unborn baby's blood. To prevent this, if the mother tests as negative, she will be given a shot of Rh-immune globulin (also called RhoGAM), which is a compound that will neutralize her antibodies and protect the baby.

You will have the same blood group as one of your parents. As you know, A and B are equal in dominance and both are dominant over O. If you have an O and a parent with one of the others, the other will take priority.

You inherit one blood group gene from mom and one blood group gene from dad. So you could end up with a completely different - and incompatible type than your parents. Last week an O Pos mom had twins: one was A Neg and one was B Pos! That means that dad HAD to be AB Pos or AB Neg. All Group O people have two O genes and all Rh Neg people have two Rh Neg genes. So this Mom had and O Pos gene and an O Neg gene and the dad had an A gene a B gene and either had one Rh Pos and one Rh Neg or two Rh Neg genes.
For compatibility (excluding Rh): in case any of them need blood transfusions and assuming that they are grown up: the twins cannot donate blood to each other or the recipient could die. They cannot donate to their mom either or she could die. Both of them could donate to their dad and he would have no problem. The mom could donate blood to either twin and to dad and they would have no problem. And dad cannot donate blood to any of them or they would all die. cool huh?

well I have 4 son's and none of them have the same blood type as me. I'm a Rh-negative, and my husband is positive, so I had to have a shot after the baby was born, to prevent further problems in the other 3 births. They all have the same type as their father..

Not necessarily the same BUT genetically connected (meaning you can get your mom's blood type or your dad's or both of them). When we say blood gropu we are also referring to bolld type..so could be blodd type A, B, O or AB. Let say your mom has a blood type of A and your dad is be..the offsprings will JUST be, blood type A, or B and AB BUT NOT O. If your mom for exmple is Blood type O and your dad is also O..there is no way you can be A or B. Hope this helps. God bless!

not necessarily, for instance if your mum is o neg and dad a pos you could not be both, sometimes you can get 2 parents the same and still be different although it is likely you will be the same. for determining parentage dna is the only accurate guide
