Viruses are not considered "alive" because they lack many of the properties that scientists associate with living organisms. Primarily, they lack the ability to reproduce without the aid of a host cell, and don't use the typical cell- division approach to replication.

explain why a father with blood group AB cannot donate for a child with blood group O when he marries a woman with blood group O
denis-greek [22]

The odds are astronomical for a father with AB(IV) to have an O(I) child. The only possible way for this phenomenon to occur is if there was a nondisjunction in the ovogenesis for the 9th chromosome and the father also had a nondisjunction for the same chromosome(A sperm cell with no 9th chromosome fertilized an ovum with two 9 chromosomes).

A person with AB cannot donate to a person with O because the receiver has antibodies(alpha and beta) that bind to the antigens on the AB blood cells, causing death.
