Suppose a women with normal colored skin and having an albino mother married an albino man What would be the genotype of the woman?

The albino woman has to be AA.
So the man has to be either AA or Aa in order to be normal.
So if they have a baby and its albino it has to contain the AA gene.
a a
A Aa | Aa
----------------
A Aa | Aa
doesn't work.. All outcomes are normal.
a a
A Aa | Aa
-----------------
a AA | AA
these combination outcomes 50% chance of an albino baby.
This means the man is Aa Heterozygous dominant.. the mother is AA homozygous recessive.. and the baby is the same as the mother. AA...

What is the genotype of an albino?
An albino has all recessive genes for pigmentation. Hence there is no expression for pigment. In other words the genotype of an albino is homozygous recessive.
A male and female bison that are both heterozygous for normal skin pigmentation produce an albino offspring Which of Mendels principles explain why the offspring is albino?
Both parents would each have one dominant gene for normal pigmintation and each would have one recessive albino gene. Say P is the dominant gene and q is the albino gene. Then the parents genotype would both be Pq. Below is a Punnet Square. The child's genotype is qq P q ------------------------------------- P / PP / Pq (carrier) / / / / ///////////////////////////////////////// q / Pq (carrier) / qq (albino) / / / / ////////////////////////////////////////
If a heterozygous male mates with an albino female what percentage of children will be albino?
Albinism is a sex-linked trait. Accordingly, the description of "heterozygous male" doesn't make sense. The sex chromosomes for males are XY, and usually genetic disorders are passed down by the X chromosome (which is the case for albinism). So in the problem, we aren't sure whether the male is XaY or XAY. It would be more helpful to know if the male was albino or not; we would then immediately know his genotype. We can, however, figure out the genotype of the female. Because albinism is recessive, we can deduce that her genotyple is XaXa. But without knowing the male's genotype or phenotype, the offspring percentages cannot be calculated.
Can two white people have an albino baby?
Albinism is a recessive trait, meaning that an albino person has the genotype AA, while a person who isn't albino has the trait Aa or AA. Two albino people (AA x AA) will have all albino children. Aa x AA will have a 50% probability of albino children, and 50% normal children who are carriers (Aa). AA x AA will have all normal children who are carriers (Aa). Aa x Aa will have 25% AA (normal/non carriers), 25% AA (albino), and 50% Aa (normal/carriers) offspring. AA x AA will have all normal children who are not carriers (AA).*A person who has the genotype Aa is a carrier because they carry the allele (a) for albinism but they are not albino. The allele (A) is dominant so it covers the (a) allele.

What is the difference between an albino and a black sheep?
The main difference between an albino and a black sheep, is the pigment of their coat. Albino sheep have no pigment, where as black sheep are colored (black).
What color are albino people?
Usually White or very brightly colored.
Why does your albino puppy have blue eyes?
many albino animals have different colored eyes.animals with blue eyes often have poor eyesight or are blind.
If an albino child is born to two individuals with normal pigment what is the genotype of each parent?
Each parent is heterozygous for the gene.

If an albino and a non-albino gecko mate will they offspring be albino?
you have a 99% chance of the gecko coming out naturally colored. The albino gene for all animals is recessive. That means that both the mother and father would have to have the recessive gene and it would be blind luck for the recessive gene to be passed on by both parents. Best way to have an albino gecko is to breed 2 albino geckos. It is still not 100% that the babies will be albinos.
How can you get albino?
You could buy some from a trusted albino breeder, or buy random eggs alot and hope one of them has white fur. A few people who sell good albinos would have the word 'albino" in their username, so go to "Find a Farm" and search "albino".
Are albino deer endangered?
Many albino animals are endangered because it is a genital mess up for example an albino deer may have all regular colored fawns even if she were to mate with an albino male so in this case yes if it were like albino mice they bred to look that way P.S. i am only twelve and this is all committed form memory from former research
Is Nicole Albino gay?
Yes, in 2010, Nicole Albino revealed she was openly homosexual and married female fashion designer, Erin Magee.
Where are albino horses from?
They come as a mutation of sorts coming from the sire and the dam as carriers of the albino gene. Answer 2: It should be noted that 'Albino' horses, if it is a true albino, typically die at or just after birth due to having no intestinal tract. A true albino will have no color pigment to their hair or skin and their eyes will appear red. Cremello and Perlino are often confused with albinism in horses. Cremellos have a creamy to whitish colored coat with pink skin and blue eyes, their mane and tail may be the same color as the body or white. A perlino colored horse has the same coat, eye and skin color as a cremello but will have a chestnut or orange-ish colored mane and tail.
