If both parents have type O blood, they both must have two recessive alleles for blood type (i.e., they are homozygous for the recessive allele "o"). Therefore, all of their children will inherit one recessive "o" allele from each parent. The likely phenotypic ratio of their children would be 1:1 for blood type, with all children having type O blood.
