Albinism is an autosomal recessive trait. What is the expected ratio of progeny when a normally pigmented male, whose father was albino, marries an albino woman?

Albinism is a condition in which pigmentation is lacking. In humans, the result is white hair, nonpigmented skin, and pink eyes. The trait in humans is caused by a recessive allele. Two normal parents have an albino child. What are the parents' genotypes? What is the probability that the next child will be albino?
Albinism is a recessive trait. People with this disorder have little or no pigment (color) in the hair, skin, or eyes. Individuals with Aa and AA have normal pigment. Both a mother and father have albinism. What percent of their offspring will be homozygous for the recessive allele? Select one or more: a. 25% b. 75% c. 0% d. 50% e. 100% f. 10%
