Can you have a different blood group to both parents??

Question

My mum is "o" my dad is "ab" and I am "a", is my dad,my dad??????

Answer 1

I haven't been in school for a while and am no Doctor, but I remember learning about genes and blood typing. I learned that you had to have either your mother or fathers blood type. That it was genetically impossible to have anything other than one or the other. So, I'm not sure. Maybe you should do a little research. Maybe Type A blood is a derivative of Type AB. I'm not sure on that one.Check this web site below for more possible information. (I hope I copied the right one) Good Luck!

Answer 2

yes it is possible both my parents are white and for some reason i came out a dark color , this will come from your gran parents and so on don't worry , if it worries you that much all you have to do is tell them this is worrying you and if you have douts that the dad you have is not your real dad talk to them about it , but its possible . good luck :) x  

Answer 3

Yes, your dad is more than likely your dad!

I found this for you...

Well, for certain we all are exactly the product of our parents. The proof of this is in our Blood. Let's take a look at some of the "rules" of Blood type genetics for the population of the United States. (Other population groups have differing Blood type statistics. See information HERE.) There are basically four primary common Blood types. The most common by far is Blood type O, followed by type A, type B, and the least common is Blood type AB. Blood type is determined by the "alleles" that we inherit from our parents. Alleles are different possible types of a particular gene, in this case the gene(s) controlling our Blood type. There are three common Blood type alleles: A, B, and O. We all have two alleles, one inherited from each parent. The possible combinations of the three alleles are: OO; AO; BO; AB; AA; BB.

Blood types A and B are called "codominant" alleles, (they share in the controlling influence of our genetic Blood make-up) while O is "recessive." A codominant allele is apparent, or dominant, even if only one is present; a recessive allele is apparent only if two recessive alleles are present. Since Blood type O is recessive, it is not apparent if the person inherits an A or B allele along with it.

Therefore, there are certain possible allele combinations in a particular Blood type:

OO = Blood type O

AO = Blood type A

BO = Blood type B

AB = Blood type AB

AA = Blood type A

BB = Blood type B

What all of this means to the paternity puzzle is that ABO Blood typing can only give some preliminary indications as to possible paternity. This rule, however, can not be universally applied, because the vast majority of most people in Caucasian populations has only two of those types (A and O). This means that a male may have a type consistent with paternity and still not be the father of the tested child. DNA typing always yields a more reliable conclusion regarding paternity and is the final word in paternity legal cases.  

Answer 4

It is very likely that your dad is your dad.  The variation of a gene is called an allele.  So, "A" is an allele for blood type ... "B" is an allele and "O" is an allele.  The allele for blood type A is dominant over O as is the allele for "B".  Your dad can only pass on and "A" or a "B" and your mom can only pass on a type "O" allele.  So, you got an "A" from your dad and an "O" from your mum and you have the allele combination of "AO"  in which, as I said, the is "A" dominating the "O".

Answer 5

yes  

Answer 6

yes you can

Answer 7

OF course

it's actually perfectly normal

here's a table with the blood group inheritance

Answer 8

of course yes

u r insulting your mother

Answer 9

Your Mom is O and your daddy is AB, then their kids could have either A (AO) or B (BO) only.  If your blood type were AB or O, then for sure he would not be your daddy.  However, if your blood type is A, that is only one indication that you might be his, but it is not necessarily so, because ABO blood type is too broad to determine the paternity.  

Answer 10

yes you can have different blood types than your parents. It all has to do with the genetics.  

Answer 11

yes,u can

it gt to depend on that what ur parents blood type "alleles"

if ur parent are blood types are "AO" and "BO",

u tend to have blood type "A","B","AB" or "O"

the tendency of u having either 1 blood type is 25%
