An albino male who is heterozygous for black hair marries a woman who is heterozygous for nomal pigment What color of hair can ther children have?

Answer 1

Pigment types are incredibly complicated and hair color is probably second only to skin color for complexity. Eye color is really the only one that is even relatively simple.

You should probably contact a medical expert for this question to determine the particular type of albinoism that the male has because that has a large effect of what can happen with their children and the probabilities of that.

Some types albinism will cause the children to be somewhere between the farther and mother while others will cause complete albinism in 1/2 of the children if the mother is a carrier and others may be completely irrelevant if the mother isn't a carrier.

If you get an easy answer on this question then it's going to be from someone assuming information that hasn't been provided.

Since the vast majority of albinism is recessive then in all likelihood it's a 50% chance or less of the children being albino. However, they could have recessive genes for two different causes of albinism so they could also have a 100% chance of normally pigmented children.

I must stress that this is not the best place to get an answer like this if it's important to you. If it's just curiosity then feel free to use the 50% estimate.
