If one parent is o positive and the other a what will be?
The possible blood types of the child are A positive, A negative, B positive, and B negative.
The O positive parent can only contribute an O allele, while the A negative parent can contribute either an A or an O allele. If the A negative parent contributes an A allele, the child will be A positive or A negative, depending on whether they inherit the O or the negative allele from the O positive parent. If the A negative parent contributes an O allele, the child will be B positive or B negative, depending on whether they inherit the O or the positive allele from the O positive parent.
