Does the child take the father's blood type?

No, a child doesn't automatically take the father's blood type; they inherit one ABO gene (A, B, or O) and one Rh factor gene (+ or -) from each parent, creating a unique combination, so they could have the father's, mother's, or a different type entirely, like Type AB or O, depending on dominant/recessive gene expressions. Both parents contribute genes, but dominant ones (A, B, Rh+) often mask recessive ones (O, Rh-), leading to varied outcomes.

A child with type O blood must inherit an O allele from both parents, meaning both parents need to carry at least one O allele. For example, a parent with type A blood can have the genotype AO, carrying one O allele hidden by the dominant A allele.
