A member asked:

If a child's blood type is o positive could the alleged father's blood type be b+?the mother has o+ blood

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: B blood is created when an individual has one or 2 genes for B. If the B blood person has one gene for B the other gene must be O. Each person has 2 blood type genes, one from each parent that will define their type. An O parent can only have two O genes. An O parent matched with a B parent can have O or B kids.
