It could be that the dad is albino but the mom isn’t.
What else can I help you with?
Is albinism a dominant or recessive trait?
Albinism is a recessive trait.
Is albinism caused by a recessive or dominant gene?
Albinism is typically caused by a recessive gene.
Albinism is a recessive trait in humans that is controlled by a single gene how many recessive alleles must a person have to have albinism?
2
What is an example of recessive trait?
'Albinism' (being an albino, without skin pigmentation) is an example of a recessive trait. Specifically, it is an expressed recessive trait, because that person does not have the dominant gene at all, only two copies of a recessive gene. For a person to be an albino, his/her parents BOTH had to have the recessive gene and the offspring had to inherit THOSE TWO copies and can now only 'express' the recessive gene. There is no dominant gene to undo the albino trait. Side note: there is more than one form of albinism recognized in medical science, but all are examples of recessive traits. Another example of a recessive trait would be 'sickle-cell disease/anemia.'
When is the only time a recessive phenotype can be observed?
A recessive phenotype can only be observed when an individual is homozygous recessive for that trait, meaning they have two copies of the recessive allele. This is because in a heterozygous individual, the dominant allele will mask the expression of the recessive allele.
Is albinism a dominant or recessive trait?
Albinism is a recessive trait.
Is albinism caused by a recessive or dominant gene?
Albinism is typically caused by a recessive gene.
Albinism or the lack of color is a recessive trait that is present in some plants Cross two carriers for albinism If 500 plants resulted from the cross what percent of offspring would be expected?
25%
Is albinism a dominat or reccesive trait?
Albinism is a recessive trait which will result in a lack of pigmentation in the skin eyes and hair. It occurs about 1 in every 17,000 people in the U.S.
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.

Is albinism controlled by a dominant allele or by a recessive allele?
Recessive allele.
Is albinism autosomal?
Albinism is a recessive, autosomal trait. So no, it is not sex-linked.
Albinism is a recessive trait what is the only genotype that would express albinism?
Albinism is expressed only in individuals with the homozygous recessive genotype, represented as "aa." This means that both alleles for the trait must be the recessive form for the characteristic to manifest. Individuals with at least one dominant allele ("AA" or "Aa") will not express albinism.
What might happen if mouse color was not passed from parent to offspring?
The parent had a recessive gene or a gene with incomplete dominance. The rare case of albinism may also be the cause.
Is albinism a recessive trait or dominant?
Recessive. The trait will only show up if both parents have the gene recessively (aa). If the genetic make up is Aa or AA, there will be melanin production, meaning albinism is an aa gene only. Albinism is a recessive allele.
The allele for albinism is recessive to the allele for normal skin pigmentation what is the probability that a child of a heterozygous mother and albino father will be albino?
In this scenario, the mother is heterozygous for normal skin pigmentation (Aa) and the father is homozygous recessive for albinism (aa). The possible genotypes for their child are Aa (normal pigmentation) and aa (albino). Using a Punnett square, there is a 50% probability that the child will be albino (aa).
