Summary Introduction

To determine: The genotype of the father if one child out of three children is albino.

Introduction: Genotype is the genetic makeup of an organism. Offspring receive two sets of chromosomes in which each set belong to each parent. The trait that is expressed is called a dominant trait and the trait that did not get expressed is called a recessive trait. Albinism is the lack of pigmentation caused due to the presence of both recessive alleles for the trait.
