Answer:

Each biological parent gives one of their two ABO alleles to their child. For example, a father who has blood type AB has the genotype AB, so he can give either an A or a B allele to a child of his. If the mother has blood type O, her genotype must be OO, and she can only give an O allele to a child.

Type AB blood

Type O blood

Type A blood
