Answer Details

A cross between an albino female and a genetically normal male will result in offspring that are all phenotypically normal, but all of them will be carriers of the albino gene. Albinism is a genetic condition that is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, which means that an individual must inherit two copies of the gene to express the albino phenotype. The albino female has two copies of the albino gene, while the genetically normal male has two copies of the normal gene. During fertilization, each parent contributes one copy of their genes to their offspring. Therefore, all the offspring will receive one copy of the normal gene from the father and one copy of the albino gene from the mother, making them carriers of the albino gene. However, since they only have one copy of the albino gene, they will not express the albino phenotype and will be phenotypically normal. If two of these carriers mate, they will have a 25% chance of producing albino offspring.
