Yes the baby can. Each person receives an A, a B, or an O gene from each parent.
The A and B genes are co-dominant, and the O gene is recessive.
A person whose genetic type is either AA or AO will have blood type A, those with genetic type BB or BO will have blood type B, and only those with genetic type OO will have blood type O.
A child with type O blood can have parents with type A, type B, or type O blood, but not type AB. Conversely, if two parents both have type O blood, all their children will have type O blood. Hope this helps!

Yes, for example if the mother is AO-- and the father is BO+-. The odds would only be 1 in 8, though.

Look there for all the possibilities. ANY blood type is possible when you combine A and B types.
