Explanation / Answer

The Genotypes: Mom: rr Dad: Rr Kid: rr Explanations: For one to be albino tey must have both recessive allelesbecause carying the dominant allele would cancel out therecessive. For the kid to be albino he must be able toinherit a recessive allele from eeach of his parents. His momis an albino so she must carry two recessive alleles as well. The father of the child must pass a recessive allele to his child,but is not albino himself so he is heterozygous or carries onedominant and one recessive allele.
