Question

Predict the genotypic and phenotypic ratios for the Punnett square from scenario 1. What is the probability of two individuals who are carriers for the trait having a child with albinism? What is the inheritance pattern for albinism?

Answer 1

Answer:

In the most common forms of oculocutaneous albinism, both parents must carry the albinism gene for a child to be born with the condition. Even if both parents carry the gene, the chance of each of their children being born with albinism is one in four.
