A normal man and a normal woman both having one of their parent albino, if get married then what is the probability of their child of being albino?

Options

  1. A20%20 \%
  2. B25%25 \%
  3. C75%75 \%
  4. D80%80 \%

Correct answer

B. 25%25 \%

Step-by-step solution

Albinism is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern that means both parents contribute a mutated gene for the person to have albinism. So, there is a 25%25 \% chance that any of their children will have albinism. Then 50%50 \% of the children will carry the mutated gene, but will not have albinism. The last possibility is to neither have albinism or carry the mutated gene, that's the other 25%25 \% chance.
