You have pairs of chromosomes so your mother has an "A" on one and a "B" on the other. She donates one of these to you.
Your Dad has a "B" on each chromosome and donates one of these.

This means that you'd either be AB or B
(which is actually BB)

If mum is AB, and dad is BO, doesn't this allow AO as a possibility, so you could be A (AO), AB, or B (BB/BO).

abba
oh sorry, blood group...
I think O is a dominant gene, so dad can't be BO.
If there is an O it always takes precedence.
Sorry ignore that and look here.

No, O is recessive.
sod_the_m25 is correct, you could be A, B or AB (but not O)

winsperk, what does it have with 'art and literature'?
Basically, if you're 'O', you'd better be asking the milkman a few questions...
and then there is the rhesus factors.....
Mother's blood being AB and father's blood being B.. that would mean ... *flips abascus*... the kids can end up being of AB blood, B blood and A blood. No possibility of O, unless you involve foul play (sic).

If partner 1#'s blood is of A group and partner 2#'s blood is of B, there is a possibility of getting all four blood groups. I bet that caused a lot of riots in households when they haven't figured out the blood groups
