Christian Merritt · Answer 1

Yes it is possible

Explanation:

I cannot get you a punnet square but ...

Mother: Type A blood = 1 part A blood 1 part O blood = OA

Father: Type B blood = 1 part B blood 1 part O blood = OB

There is a 25% chance for O blood

There is a 25% chance for AB blood

There is a 25% chance for OB blood

There is a 25% chance for OA blood
