I can understand how 2 AB group parents can have a child tested as O blood group, but how is, the other way around, possible?
2 AB can have a baby tested as O, they can if both the parents are heterozygous ##Hh## there is a chance that the baby will be tested as O though the child belongs to bombay blood group..Ygggdrasil said:t is also not possible for two AB parents to have a child with blood group O.
Actually my friend is AB and both her parents are O, and i am sure she's not adopted, and I've heard it is possible from my teacher :)SteamKing said:so I've heard" is not an acceptable reference. If you have published evidence for this, please cite the source.
Having "2 O parents and an AB Child" means that both parents have blood type O and their child has blood type AB. This is possible because each parent contributes one gene for blood type to their child, and the child's blood type is determined by a combination of these genes.
Since blood type is determined by the presence or absence of certain antigens on red blood cells, having two O parents means that both parents have no A or B antigens. However, the AB blood type is possible if the parents are heterozygous, meaning they each carry one gene for type A and one gene for type B. When combined, these genes create the AB blood type in the child.
No, it is not common for two O parents to have an AB child. The chances of this happening are only about 1 in 25, or 4%.
Yes, two AB parents can have an O child. This is because both parents can carry a recessive gene for type O, which can be passed on to their child. However, this is also not a very common occurrence.
No, there are no known health implications for having "2 O parents and an AB Child". Blood type is only one aspect of a person's overall health and does not have any significant impact on their well-being.
