Albinism is inherited as a recessive trait in humans. If the parents are both  heterozygous for the trait, what is the probability of obtaining the following:  a. 3 albino children?  b. 2 normal girls?  c. 4 albino boys?  d. first 4 children will be normal and the last 2 children will be albino? e. 4 normal children and 2 albinos in any order?
What features of a pedigree would distinguish between a Y-linked trait and a trait that is rare, autosomal dominant, and sex-limited to males?
In humans, failure to synthesize melanin leads to a condition called albinism. This is a recessive condition.  If parents heterozygous (Nn) for normal skin pigmentation give rise to 4 offspring, what is the probability that:   a. they will have an albino child?   b. the second child is albino? c. they will have all boys with normal pigmentation? d. they will have ONE albino child, no matter the order.
