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?

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.
What are the genotypes of the parents with albinism?
Individuals with albinism typically have a genotype that is homozygous recessive for the albinism trait, often denoted as "aa." For a child to have albinism, both parents must carry at least one recessive allele. Therefore, the parents can have genotypes of either "Aa" (heterozygous carriers) or "aa" (homozygous for albinism). If both parents are "Aa," there is a 25% chance their child will inherit albinism.
Is albinism a dominant or recessive trait?
Albinism is a recessive trait.
What are the possible genotypes of the parents with albinism?
Individuals with albinism typically have a recessive genetic trait, meaning they must inherit two copies of the albinism gene (aa) to express the condition. Therefore, the possible genotypes of the parents could be either both carriers (Aa), one carrier and one affected (Aa and aa), or both affected (aa). If both parents are carriers, there is a 25% chance for each child to be affected by albinism.
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.

What portion of their off jack and Jill offspring will be albino if jack and Jill are heterozygous for albinism?
If Jack and Jill are both heterozygous for albinism, represented as Aa (where A is the normal pigmentation allele and a is the albinism allele), their offspring's genotypes can be determined using a Punnett square. The possible combinations are AA, Aa, Aa, and aa. This results in a ratio of 3 normal pigmentation (AA and Aa) to 1 albino (aa), meaning that 25% of their offspring are expected to be albino.
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.
