An albino child can only be born of two people with the same gene disorder, to have an albino child you would have to find a person with those genes. Only some people have the ability to make an albino child.That is why they are so rare.

It depends on the genotypes of the parents. Because albinism is a recessive trait, it's possible for a person to carry the genes for it without displaying the trait themself. However, if you don't have a family history of the disorder, you're very unlikely to end up with an albino kid.

The albino gene can become present in a child whose parents do not appear to possess it. This is due to each parent having the gene but it did not become dominant.

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) / / / / ////////////////////////////////////////


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.


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 are the chances of having an albino baby if the mother is white with albino traits and the father black?

Hello, Ms or Mrs I am albino. I am a female. Your answer is, Not necessarily there is a 50/50 chance if you are without the jean which you might want to get your blood checked for it. I want you to know that albinisim isnt racisit there is Calcasian and Black albinos! So if you do have the jean but are not a albino then you and your male or female partner could have a albino baby or a child that is without albinisim.

If an albino and an African American have a baby will it look white caucasian?

No. Genetics is not like mixing paint. Albinism is a genetic mutation that results in a deficiency of pigmnetation in all body structures. Skin color in normal (non-albino) humans is driven by the density of the pigment melanin. Any human from any race can have the albino mutation. In fact, it is most common in male africans. If an albino mates with any normal human, the child will inherit some of the racial features of one parent and some from the other. If both the albino and the non-albino are of the same race, the child will look like that same race.
