    Blood type possibility
    Does anyone know whether two people with A+ blood types can produce a child with 0+ blood type?

    Hello jranderson.

    To have a blood type of A+, that means your blood type is either AA or Ao

    Therefore, it is possible for 2 people with A+ blood types to produce a child with O+ blood type.

    See this Matrix.

    MOM AA or Ao
    DAD
    AA-->AA-->AA or Ao
    or
    Ao-->AA or Ao ->AA or Ao or oo

    Therefore, if 2 people who both have A+ blood types have a child, their child's blood type must be either AA or Ao or oo

    To make it a little simple,
    A child with blood group O can ONLY be a result if both parents are of blood group A, genotype AO (not AA)

    A O
    A AA AO
    O AO OO

    you I think they can
    u see
    both r A+ marries A+= the nkids can be ,now there r 4 posibilities

    AA,A+,A+,or ++ (O+)
    well the probability of this kid being O+ is juts 1/4
    but still it's there...

    Wouldn't it be 1/3 since you have A+ twice?
