An albino girl gets married to a normal boy. What are the chances of their having an affected child and what are the chances of their children being carriers?: (A) None affected, all carriers, (B) All normal, (C) 50% carriers, (D) 50% affected, 50% carriers
Answer is A. **Albinism is autosomal recessive; Female here is affected (2 defective genes), while male is normal (both genes normal). **So each offspring (son/daughter) will inherit one defective gene only, from the mother. **So all children will be carriers of albinism and none will be affected.
