If my blood type is O+ then what are the possibilites of my parents blood type?

Neither parent could be AB. The odds are one of your parents were O, but your mother could be A (with a resesive O) and your father could be B (with a resesive O) [or both A or both B]
"+" is dominant so at least one of your parents had to be positive.

Blood types have multiple alleles. The tricky thing about the O blood type is that both the A and B blood types dominate the O. According to Genetics your parents would each have to have the O trait. So your parents could have had AO (dad) and BO (mom) then your parents would have a 1 in 4 chance to have a child with the O blood type. You. But there is no definate answer on this situation. Science has a lot more left to be discovered.

The genotype for blood O is OO, A is AO, B is BO and AB is of course AB. Your Parents could be a combination of O, A and B. Parents with a combination of AO & BO will have children of all blood type. A+B / A+O / O+B / O+O. Assuming all is R+.
That is why blood O type is a giver and AB is a recipient only. Got it?

well there are only 8 blood types a+ , a- , b+, b-, ab+ ab-, o+, and o-, the positive and negative have to do with the rh factor but chances are 1 of your parents would have to be o in order to be o your self but as for the other they could anything,

Your parents can be any blood type. Your blood type may not match either one.

I am not sure what my type is, all I know is that I am RH -. And I have to get a shot twice, one during pregnancy and one after I give birth.
