The problem is I don't know the blood type of the baby.
"This is an assignment tho so i was just wondering if someone can help me to find out what blood does the baby need and had?"
Thanks again.

you need to know the baby's blood type. it's going to be either A or B..and that's neither of the parents' type. in a pinch, the o type could be used, but blood banks typically use the right type blood.

The first question would be what is the blood type of the baby. You list AB+ for one parent and O? for the other. This child could have any blood type since you don't say if the parent O is + or -. Of the five listed again 2 don't tell us + or - so that hinders things but O- is considered universal, all blood types will take it and it is compatible with either + or -. But all of this is crazy since blood banks have the ability to type and cross match a donor to any recipient without any input from you.

What blood type is the baby?
Keep in mind that it has been a few years since I studied blood types in school, but I do remember that O-negative blood is a universal donor because there are no RH protiens to cause a reaction. If the baby is AB+ then anyone should be able to donate.
Good luck!

Well you didn't include the baby's blood group, that is vital information. The best donor is the one with the same blood group. People of the same blood group have the same naturally-occuring antibodies and therefore there will be no antibody reactions leading to intravascular clotting ect in the transfusion patient.
In extreme situations where there is absolutely no available blood of the same blood group, O group blood is used. However this is rarely implemented in nowadays modern hospitals, especially since it seems you have a wide variety of donors ready to help anyway :)
Best of Luck!

Firstly - what is the baby's blood type
Secondly - the corresponding type should be matched with the baby's blood before transfusion (corresponding ABO and Rh blood types do not guarantee a match!)
Thirdly - if you are totally stuck, you can give O negative blood to the baby.
O negative is the universal donor (and hence the blood bank would hound you for your blood repeatedly). It has no ABO antigens (or ID flags, if you like) and it has no Rhesus antigens (ID flags) and so can pass for okay usually.
However, there are dozens of other minor blood types (Duffy, Kell, McLeod) and they may cause incompatibility.

O- can be a donor. That blood type is considered universal. Why, I don't know. But that is my blood type so the Red Cross is always happy to see me come in and donate.

O is the universal donor so I would go with O. It depends on what the baby's blood type is as well. Is it RH negative or positive?

form A blood ability the blood had "A" antigen and form B has "B" antigen, form AB has the two, form O has neither. Any blood form can purely settle for what antigens it has or no antigen in any respect. considering O has no antigen it extremely is universally time-honored so its the properly-known donor. AB has the two antigens have the two so as that they could settle for any blood so as that they are the properly-known acceptor. That being stated we pass onto the genetics of blood form inheritance. One gene from each and every confirm. If confirm is O meaning no antigens, they cant make contributions any antigens to the toddler. If confirm is AB, they could make contributions the two A or B. So the possiblities for the blood form of the toddler of such mum and dad are : A from one confirm, O from different making the toddler form A B from the single confirm and O from the different making the toddler form B. So the toddler is the two form A or B purely. So the toddler is the two form A or B. once you dont be attentive to for specific the main secure wager is to furnish the toddler form O it is the properly-known donor. because it has no antigens on it, the toddler can settle for it properly. although in case you provide the two A or B or AB, between the antigens would be alien to the toddler as and so rejection will happen. desire it extremely is sensible.

Anyone with an O blood type can be given to anyone they are 'universal donors'.

FOR FIRST SOLUTION WE CAN GIVE THE O- blood TO THE CHILD .BUT IF THE PARENTS ARE GENETICALLY PURE(homo-zygote)the child will from AB+ blood type because WE know THAT: A gene is dominant for B dominant for O (A>B>O) and RH+>RH-.then all the 5 donors can give blood to the child
