Can two people with the same blood group have a child with a different blood group?

Question

I'm O+ and my husband is O+ - can I have a child with - lets say blood group B or whatever other blood group.

Answer 1

No your child will be O+

Answer 2

While blood type really is more complicated then this, for the average person's necessary knowledge it pretty much boils down to this:
A - dominant B - dominant o - recessive
+ - dominant - - recessive

With the combination you listed your children should either be o+ or o-. o- is possible because you could both have a + and a - gene.

In my family my father is B-, my mother is A+, my sister is o+ and I am o-, and the milk man definitely wasn't involved! ;) It's all possible because my parents both carried the recessive genes along with the dominant ones that caused their blood types.

Answer 3

i am B and my ex husband is A and we had a child that was O-... he thought the worst and thought i had an affair and i told him that she was a throw back that my younger brother had O+ so thats why she was O-.... it skips generations sometimes. ask your doctor about this to make sure if you can actually conceive children with both parents having O blood types. i am pretty sure there is a combination that is not compatable...

Answer 4

Nope - the only way to do it is to have an affair and get pregnant by someone with a different blood group

Answer 5

Only if O+ is a dominant gene and the other one is a recessive gene that both you and your husband carry. For example, blue eyes is recessive, brown is dominant. Both my parents have brown eyes, but both my grandfathers had blue, which means each of my parents had a blue-eye gene and a brown-eye gene, and the brown won out. They now have four children. Two have brown eyes, and two were lucky and got the recessive blue-eye gene from both parents and so have blue eyes. But, if both my parents had blue eyes, all of us would have blue eyes because you can't have blue eyes and carry the brown-eye gene. So I can't remember which blood types are recessive and dominant, but I hope that helps you understand the way it works :) (oh, and I know A and B act weird together - instead of one coming out and one hiding, they are co-dominant as the type AB)

Answer 6

I was told a child always has the same blood group as their father, don't know if that's true or not but I'm the same as my Dad.

Answer 7

No. Hopefully this is just a random question for you.

************EDIT*************
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ANSWERED "YES" TO THIS QUESTION...YOU ARE WRONG. THE ANSWER IS "NO" AND THERE IS NO WAY AROUND IT. I AM POSTING A LIST OF POSSIBLE BLOOD TYPES FORMED BY TWO PEOPLE WITH VARIOUS BT's. THIS IS FROM THE SITE THAT ONE OF THE ANSWERERS POSTED AS HIS SOURCE TO BACK UP A "YES" ANSWER. IT HAS COMPLETELY CONTRADICTED HIS ANSWER.

**PLEASE NOTE THE LAST LINE...THE ANSWER FOR THE QUESTION.


A & A = A, O (impossible= B, AB)
A & B = A, B, AB, O (impossible= none)
A & AB = A, B, AB (impossible= O)
A & O = A, O (impossible = B, AB)
B & B = B, O (impossible = A, AB)
B & AB = A, B, AB (impossible = O)
B & O = B, O (impossible = A, AB)
AB & AB = A, B, AB (impossible = O)
AB & O = A,B (impossible = AB,O)
O & O = O (IMPOSSIBLE = A, B, AB)

Answer 8

Well there's a good chance your child will be O+. But your child could also have another blood type, but lesser chance.

Answer 9

Yes, it is possible, because of the genetics of "dominant" and "recessive" traits. Type "O" folks have two recessive traits. Type A and type B folks potentially both carry type O recessive alleles, meaning that when they breed, it is possible to have a type O child.

This is basic genetics. Just like two brown eyes making blue. (hint: they both carry recessive blue alleles)

Answer 10

WHAT BLOOD GROUP IS THE MILK MAN?

Answer 11

Alien abduction. It's the most obvious answer. Can't think why no one's already thought of it.
