Patient's question:

Can a father with type A blood and a mother with type B blood have a child with type O blood? What kind of help do you need: Can a father with type A blood and a mother with type B blood have a child with type O blood?

Doctor's answer:

Father is A blood type, mother is B blood type, and they can have a child with O blood type.
Advice: The principle of blood type classification is to determine whether there are A or B antigens on the red blood cells. If only A antigen is present, it is classified as type A; if only B antigen is present, it is classified as type B; if neither A nor B is present, it is classified as type O; if both A and B are present, it is classified as type AB. Blood type can also be inherited across generations. That is, everyone has two genes: A type is either AA or AO; B type is either BB or BO; O type is OO.
