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.

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


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...


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 conditions would be necessary for the albino allele to be more frequent?

For the albino allele to be more frequent in a population, there needs to be a higher rate of genetic drift or a selective advantage associated with the albino phenotype. Additionally, reduced fitness of individuals with the normal pigmentation allele could also contribute to the increased frequency of the albino allele.


Are the parents of a albino plant homozygous or heterozygous?

The parents of an albino plant are likely to be heterozygous for the gene controlling albinism. This means they carry one normal allele and one albino allele. When these two alleles combine in the offspring, it results in the expression of the albino trait.

If parents with normal pigmentation have an albino child what is the chance that their next child will have normal pigmentation?

The chance that their next child will have normal pigmentation is 75%. Albinism is usually caused by a recessive gene, so both parents would need to carry the gene in order to have an albino child. If both parents have normal pigmentation, then the chance of passing on the albino gene to their next child is 25%.


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).


Will my child be albino if the child's father is albino?

There is a very low percentage of having a albino child if you yourself are not albino ==you can have an albino baby==

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 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.

Lacks pigment or normal coloring. An albino rabbit for example will have pink eyes.


What is the opposite of albino?

The opposite of albino is melanic.The definition of albino is being totally absent of any color pigment; so the opposite would be an abundance of color pigmentation.the opposite of being albino is not albinomwahahahaha!
