normal
If an albino man marries with a normal woman and $50$ offsprings are albino and $50$ are normal, the woman is
A
Heterozygous normal
B
Homozygous normal
C
Heterozygous carrier
D
None of these
Solution
(c) Albinism is an autosomal recessive trait.
The genotype of such mother would be ‘$Aa$' i.e. one recessive gene ‘$a$’ responsible for the absence of melanin and one dominant gene responsible for the presence of melanin would be present.
So the mother would be heterozygotic carrier.
