To express a recessive trait, this snake must be aa.
Since the father is Aa, the mother can be Aa or aa. The only thing we know is that it can not be AA, because if either parent was AA then it would be impossible for the offspring to express the recessive trait. If both parents were Aa then there was a 25% chance of the child expressing the recessive trait, and if one was Aa and the other was aa then there would be a 50% chance.

Albinism is a condition that results from a recessive gene preventing the production of pigments in the skin, hair, and eyes. Individuals with albinism have skin that lacks melanin, leading to a pale appearance, and they often have sensitivity to sunlight due to the lack of melanin's protective effects. Additionally, those with albinism may have vision problems, as the lack of pigment in the eyes can cause issues with visual development.
Yes, albinism is typically caused by autosomal recessive gene mutations. This means that an individual needs to inherit two copies of the mutated gene (one from each parent) to express the albinism trait.
The babies would likely have lighter skin due to the genetic condition of albinism, which causes a lack of pigment in the skin, hair, and eyes. Albinism is a recessive trait and would override the parents' skin color.
Albinism is a recessive trait.
Albinism is typically caused by a recessive gene.
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.
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.

Recessive allele.
Albinism is a recessive, autosomal trait. So no, it is not sex-linked.
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.
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.
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).
It is controlled by a recessive allele.
