If an albino (aa) mates with a person homozygous for normal pigment (AA), Select one: a. there is a 100% probability that the child will have normal pigmentation. b. there is a 50% probability that the child will have normal pigmentation. c. there is a 50% probability that the child will have albinism. d. there is a 100% probability that the child will have albinism.

Step 1
The albino parent has the genotype "aa" (homozygous recessive for albinism), and the normal pigment parent has the genotype "AA" (homozygous dominant for normal pigmentation). Show more…

If an albino (aa) mates with a person homozygous for normal pigment (AA), there is a 100% probability that the child will have normal pigmentation.
Madhur L.
The offspring of the cross between an albino female (aa) and a heterozygous male (Aa) is: a. 100% albino b. 100% normal c. 50% albino, 50% normal d. 25% normal, 75% albino
Albinism (lack of production of the skin pigment melanin) is coded by a recessive gene. The gene has two alternative alleles: A (dominant) and a (recessive). A woman who is homozygous dominant marries a man who is heterozygous for albinism. What is the probability of their offspring having an albino child? A) 100% B) 75% C) 50% D) 25% E) 0%
