The child can be A, B or AB. The only group the child shouldn't be is O.
You receive one allele from each parent. Each group actually has two places. Therefore the B is actually BO or BB.
If child is A, this means the mother's group is BO.
Now mix and match.
Mother gives B Father gives B Child is B
Mother O Father B Child B
Mother O Father A Child A
Mother B Father A Child AB
Mother B Father B Child B
The Rh factor is similar but not so easily determined. While it also has two places, the + can hold a - for it's second placement +-
For instance, my mother is AB Neg but all of her children are Pos. This means her Rh factor must be -+.
Hope this helps.
