    Question: Calculate The Chances of A Couple Who Are Heterozygous For Albinism Having An Albino

    Uploaded by

    For a couple who are each heterozygous for albinism, there is a 1 in 4 (25%) chance that their child will have albinism. Albinism is a recessive genetic disorder caused by mutations in at least one of several different genes. For a child to have albinism, they must inherit the recessive gene for albinism from both parents. Since each parent has a 50% chance of passing on their recessive gene, the chances of the child inheriting the recessive gene from both parents is 25% (0.5 x 0.5).
