Both parents must be carriers of the recessive "albinism" gene. For people who do not have albinism, there is only a 1 in 100 chance that they are carriers of the recessive gene.

If both parents are normally pigmented, that is, neither one of them has albinism, but they both happen to be carriers of the recessive "albinism" gene. Then there is a 1 in 4 chance they will have a child with albinism each time they concieve.

One person in 17,000 in the U.S.A. has some type of albinism.

The photo below shows an albino offspring from a non-albino mother. If albinism is a recessive trait, what are the possible genotypes of the mother, the father, and the offspring?

For the mother to have a non-albino offspring, she would need to have at least one dominant allele for the trait, so her genotype could be either Aa or AA. The father must have two recessive alleles (aa) to pass on albinism to the offspring. The albino offspring's genotype would be aa.


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.


The father' contribution of a Y chromosome?

The father contributes a Y chromosome to his offspring, determining their biological sex as male. The Y chromosome carries genes responsible for male characteristics and development, such as the production of testosterone.


What is a fraternal grandmother?

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).

If an albino and a non-albino gecko mate will they offspring be albino?

you have a 99% chance of the gecko coming out naturally colored. The albino gene for all animals is recessive. That means that both the mother and father would have to have the recessive gene and it would be blind luck for the recessive gene to be passed on by both parents. Best way to have an albino gecko is to breed 2 albino geckos. It is still not 100% that the babies will be albinos.

1 albino baby gerbil born to a brown mother there are brown and white fur males who might be the father?

There is no such thing as an albino gerbil. There are red-eyed white gerbils, but they are not albino as they have one gene that causes red eyes and another that causes white fur, instead of a single gene causing albinism. Now, depending on the recessives of the brown father, it could be either. The mother is obviously carrying a c(h) gene.
