Blood type

[Dermot]

My dad is AB while my mom is O type... (reverse, huh?)

You're probably A or B. I'm very sure.

No probably about it.  It's a certainty. Either A or B.  O or AB are impossible if your parents are O and AB.  Also, if both your parents are O, you are certain to be O.  And if both of your parents are AB, you are certain to be AB.

Me, I'm O+.  My dad is A+.  My mom is O+ (I just asked).

*chuckles* hehehe. Now I've seen what your blood types are.... hehehe... I don't need to go to the blood bank anymore... *shows vampire teeth* this will be fun.. *lunges at the closest person*

And I thought I was the only one!

... Just kidding!

Yay, 333rd post!

Here are the ABO inheritance statistics, depending on who your two parents are (gender is irrelevant here, so O+AB is the same as AB+O, etc.):

O+O = 100% O

O+A = 50% O, 50% A

O+B = 50% O, 50% B

O+AB = 50% A, 50% B

A+A = 100% A

A+B = 25% O, 25% A, 25% B, 25% AB

A+AB = 50% A, 50% AB

B+B = 100% B

B+AB = 50% B, 50% AB

AB+AB = 100% AB

For Rh factor:

negative+negative = 100% negative

negative+positive = 50% negative, 50% positive

positive+positive = 100% positive

So all of my siblings are either O+ or A+.  They can't be anything else.

Reminds me of Algebra :lol:

Blimy, howd you get those so fast?

Blimy, howd you get those so fast?

Simple hereditary genetics.

You see, the eight normal blood types are controlled by three binary genes.  For each of the genes, the gene you get is either from the mother or the father (which is random).

One gene is A or not A.

Another gene is B or not B.

The third gene is Rh factor (positive or negative).

If you get A and B, you are AB.

If you get A and not B, you are A.

If you get B and not A, you are B.

If you get not A and not B, you are O.

Blood type: Yellow and corrosive. That's right, try to kill me, and you'll get sprayed with acid! (J/K)

Not sure, I'll look it up whenever I have time to spare.

[Sol-Ratcht Saporro]

O-. The supposedly most recurring blood type in the world. I think, since its the universal donor.

I'm not alone!  :P

[Dermot]

More universal donors! *chases with sharp knife!* :trollface:

[EazyIN]

More universal donors! *chases with sharp knife!*

*chases back with M16 and fires away*

Now, then. NO DONATIONS FOR YOU    :trollface:

[Guest FoXXX]

I just had blood work done today. I'll have results tomorrow, they might mention what blood type I am.

[Geo Stelar]

*chuckles* hehehe... more universal donors... perfect for my leukemia... *shows vampire teeth*.... this will be a party... *lunges at nearest person with O type blood*

[Sol-Ratcht Saporro]

@Lucario OMG Universal Donor Buddies! High Five!

@Dermot and  Geo LOL WAT!? I just DONATED on Monday! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! *runs away*

You didn't do this just because I brought it up, did you? I mean, it's a good thing to do anyway (both for donation and for knowing how to treat you during an emergency trauma).

Personally, though I'm a registered organ and tissue donor, I can't donate any of it right now - it's full of my prescription medication. :lol:

It was just to check my liver

I'm not an organ donor, I'm probably going to change that eventually :)

We can have a party!

[Andrew McCloud]

I'm in the O- Party. Official Red Cross Volunteer and donor. I've got a few gallons under my belt ;)

[Guest FoXXX]

I  got my blood results, it didn't say anything about my blood type

However, my parents are A+ and O+ or something like that, can't remember

[Sol-Ratcht Saporro]

^So, you are either A+ or O+. You just weeded down the choices.
