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

Step 1
The albino female (aa) can only produce gametes with the recessive allele a. The heterozygous male (Aa) can produce two types of gametes: one with the dominant allele A and one with the recessive allele a. So, the possible gametes for each parent Show more…
