Albinism is a disease that results from a recessive gene. Two normal (unaffected) parents produce a child with albinism. a) What is the probability that a sperm from the father contains the albinism gene? b) What is the probability that an egg from the mother contains the albinism gene? c) What is the probability that their next child will have albinism? d) What is the probability that their next child would be heterozygous for albinism?

Answer:

albinism is an illness connected with the autosoms

a) there is 50% probability because it is said that the parents are unaffected, so the child could have the illness either from the father or the mother

b)the probability is 50% because it is said that she is unaffected but her child is so the child could inherit the albinism again either from the other or the father

c) lets suppose that both parents are unaffecet but carrying an allele for the illness. so 1/8 of the 2/8  children are already born with albinism and there is a 1/8 chance for another child to be with albinism.

d) 4/8 is the chance
