Since genes exist in pairs, there are two possibilities for the mother - AA or AO - both of which will cause her to be typed as A group.

The father, being O group, will have only OO genotype as only that results in the absence of A or B surface antigen.

The only way a child from the stated mother could have B group is if the mother is genetically AO and the father has at least one gene for B (BB or BO) so that the child could receive O from the mother and B from the father in order to be typed as B group.

Why doesn't the blood clot in the blood vessels? Blood contains platelet cells which help in clotting of blood when there is any cut on our body. Why doesn't it clot when blood is present inside the blood vessel in a normal healthy body?

Heparin is an anticoagulant which does not allow the blood to clot in the blood vessels

In my science class, my instructor said you can tell what your blood type is just by looking at your blood. What characteristics will the blood have to tell you what your blood type is for each type?

Blood typing (in general) involves the use of three different antibodies for three different antigens. These three antibodies are Anti-A, Anti-B and Anti-D and are usually coloured differently to avoid...

My Dad was blood type O Rh+ and my mom is blood type B. Is there a way I can tell what I am or might be without getting my blood tested?

Genetically your father will be O-O (total absence of alleles/gene sequences for A or B). Genetically your mother could be either B-B or B-O (possessing two or one allele/gene sequence...

My fiance and I are planning to get married two years from now. She has an O- blood type and I have a B+ blood type. Can any complications arise if we conceive a child as a result of our blood types? If so, what are they and is there a solution?

Rh incompatibility exists when an Rh- mother conceives an Rh+ child (wherein the child receives the D antigen or Rh protein from the father). Generally this will still not pose...

Is it true that your somatic cells have chromosomes just like the ones in your dad's sperm and your mom's egg, but that those chromosomes are not so similar to the chromosomes that your dad had in his somatic cells? How can this be explained?

Somatic cells will be in diploid condition and Germ Cells will be in Haploid condition. So, Somatic cells cannot have chromosomes like those in the sperm or egg cell.
