What are the possible blood groups likely to be inherited by children born to a group A mother and a group B father? Is there any way the child can have blood group O? Please explain?

An A and B parent, if both heterozygous, could have children that are anything, A, B, AB or O.

Depends. In heterozygous cases, B blood type is BO and A is AO. So the offspring might be A, B, AB or O. For homozygous cases where A type is AA and B is BB, the possible progeny is AB. For cases of AO and BB, then u will get babies of AB, B . For BO and AA, thenu will get AB or A.

If memory serves me O is a recessive allele and A and B are dominant. So assuming one parent is AO and the other BO then the possible combinations would be AO, BO, AB and yes OO. So yes the child could be O.

The A phenotype mother is either AA or AO genotype.
The B phenotype father is either BB or or BO genotype.
AO x BO --> AB, AO, BO, and OO genotypes which correspond to AB, A, B, and O phenotypes.

I am not qualified in this subject - only to the extent that I am an AB positive - born to a A positive mum and a B positive dad.
My sister is A positive.

That question can't accurately be answered. Are they Homozygous or Heterozygous.
Homozygous-All kids should be AB blood type
Heterozygous-one would be (AB), one (Ao), one (Bo), and one (oo)

Yes, there is possibility might be one of Parents ancestors had O blood.
