In humans, the ABO blood type is determined by multiple alleles of a single gene. The 4 blood groups (A, B, AB, or O) are a result of various combinations for the enzyme (I) that attaches the A or B carbohydrate to red blood cells.

You need to provide the blood types of each parent to answer the question.

you are not saying which type of blood have the individuals in the couple. According to that are the chances of different blood types the child will have.

Type O is the more rare blood type. Type A Is more common in caucasians.Type B or O is more common in blacks. I think the children will have A or one A and one AB if they are white, and they will have B or AB if they are black.A is more common in general(the world).Most likely ,though both children wil be the same from the same parents,when it comes to their blood type. I don't know anyone with children /same parents that the siblings are different in their blood type. I think it is possible but not more likely.
