Question 9
F

Albinism is an inherited condition. People with albinism have very little colour in their skin, hair and eyes.

Albinism is caused by a recessive allele, aaa. The dominant allele is AAA.

A man and a woman do not have albinism. Their first child has albinism.

Explain the probability that their next child will have albinism and the probability that their next child will be a carrier of albinism.

You may use a genetic diagram in your answer.
