Yes : The genetic transmission of blood type depends on the fact that each parent has two genes for blood type. That is to say a person with blood type a could have genes of aa or ao. If a parent with blood type ao (one version of a) has a child with a parent with blood type bo (one version of b) , the child could still be blood type o.
