Hello, I'm an expert in genetics and biology. Let's dive into the question of blood types and inheritance.
Blood type is determined by the presence or absence of specific antigens on the surface of red blood cells. The most common blood group systems are ABO and Rh. The ABO system is determined by three alleles: A, B, and O. The Rh system is primarily determined by the presence or absence of the D antigen.

While a child could have the same blood type as one of his/her parents, it doesn't always happen that way. For example, parents with AB and O blood types can either have children with blood type A or blood type B. These two types are definitely different than parents' blood types! ... They will match both parents.
