What is the genotype of an individual with albinism?
I think no. It's caused by a recessive gene so if a person has albinism their genotype can only be recessive, recessive ---> AA (small a small a or whatever you call it). No other genotype will mean that person has Albinism, like if it has at least one big A, that means it's just a carrier of albinism.

There are several different types of albinism that affect several different genes. If two people with the same type of albinism reproduce, all of their children will have albinism.
