Question
Do children have the same blood type as their parents?
Answer
If the father is AB type and the mother is A type, the child’s possible blood types include A, B, or AB, but not O. The child’s blood type is determined by half of the genes from each parent, so the child may inherit the father’s A or B blood type gene, as well as the mother’s A or i (considered as no blood type) gene. Therefore, the child’s blood type may be AA, Ai, Bi, or AB, with AA and Ai corresponding to A type, Bi corresponding to B type, and AB being its own.
