Blood Types?

Is it possible for a guy with O+ blood, and a lady with A+ blood to have a child with AB+ blood? Please give a website or book.

Update:

Thanks. You don't know how much help you've been.

    Nope. O and A can only give birth to a child with either blood type O or A as well.

    No

    Someone would have to donate the B antigen

    (And not all of their children would HAVE to be blood group A+)

    The father will donate two O genes.

    The mother maybe AO or AA, and still be A+ blood group.

    Mother A....O

    Fa O..AO.!.OO

    ......O..AO.!.OO

    Half their children would be blood group A+ and the other half would be O+

    Mother A....A

    Fa O..AO.!.AO

    ......O..AO.!.AO

    Their children would have blood group A+

    (Find out the blood group of the milkman)
