An albino girl gets married to a normal boy. What are the chances of their having an affected child and what are the chances of their children being carriers?
**Albinism is autosomal recessive; Female here is affected (2 defective genes), while male is normal (both genes normal). **So each offspring (son/daughter) will inherit one defective gene only, from the mother. **So all children will be carriers of albinism and none will be affected.
None affected, all carriers
All normal
50% carriers
50% affected, 50% carriers
