What are the chances of two parents who carry the gene for albinism an autosomal recessive disorder having a child without albinism?
If both parents carry the gene for albinism, which is an autosomal recessive disorder, there is a 25% chance their child will be affected by albinism, a 50% chance the child will be a carrier like the parents, and a 25% chance the child will neither have albinism nor be a carrier. Therefore, there is a 75% chance that their child will not have albinism, either being a carrier or completely unaffected.
Is it possible to stop albinism?
No. Albinism is in a person's genetics and you can't stop a person from having it, or change someone who already has it. There are, however, surgeries that albino people have to option of having to make life easier as someone with albinism as many of the have eye problems and increased sensitivity to sun.
Do twins have to run in your family to be conceived?

Does eating soy increase your chances of having twins?
No, but if you have twins in your family there is a good chance of twins but soy stuff does not increase or decrease your chance of having twins.
are there albino triplets?
Yes, albino triplets can occur, although it is quite rare. Albinism is a genetic condition caused by a mutation affecting melanin production, and if both parents carry the gene for albinism, there is a possibility of having multiple affected children, including triplets. Instances of albino triplets have been documented, highlighting the unique combinations of genetic traits that can arise in multiple births.
Two parents with normal pigmentation give birth to a child with albinism albinism is not a what?
Albinism is not a dominant trait; it is a recessive genetic condition caused by mutations in genes responsible for melanin production. Both parents can be carriers of the recessive allele for albinism, meaning they have normal pigmentation but can pass the allele to their child, resulting in the child having albinism.
What are the chances of having an albino child if the mother is white and the father is black?
Both parents must be carriers of the recessive "albinism" gene. For people who do not have albinism, there is only a 1 in 100 chance that they are carriers of the recessive gene. If both parents are normally pigmented, that is, neither one of them has albinism, but they both happen to be carriers of the recessive "albinism" gene. Then there is a 1 in 4 chance they will have a child with albinism each time they concieve. One person in 17,000 in the U.S.A. has some type of albinism.
Your boyfriend is a twin what is the chance of you having twins?
Its at 50/50 chance... The twin or female double egg is what causes twins... its on the woman's side of the family..
What is the cause of little or no melanin production in albinism?
Albinism is caused by genetic mutations that affect the production of a pigment called melanin. There is a cell called the melanocyte that is responsible for giving skin, hair, and eyes pigmentation. In albinism, the melanocytes are present, but genetic mutations interfere with their pigment production or their ability to distribute it to keratinocytes (the major cell type comprising the epidermis, or outer layer of the skin).There are currently five known genetic types of albinism, the most common being oculocutaneous type 1 (OCA1) and type 2 (OCA2). Oculocutaneous means affecting the eyes and skin ("oculo" meaning eye and "cutaneous" meaning skin).The genetic mutation is usually the result of both parents having the recessive gene. However, some forms of albinism have resulted when only one parent had the recessive gene.It is the condition that is caused by inability of the body to produce a melanin pigment. Albinism is a recessive trait inherited disease, meaning you have inherited two albinism genes, one from each of your parent.When, say, first cousins or brothers and sisters marry their children have to many of the same gene, that happening, it ends up in albism. there is no 'cure' for albinism You are born with it and that's that.I f 2 parents, a mother and a father, each had 1 albinism gene each of their children would have a 1 in 2 chance of carrying the gene themselves and a 1 in 4 chance of being albino that is the cause of albinism
What is the word for a family with multiple wives?
Polygamists practice polygamy which is the practice of having more than one spouse simultaneously.
Why can normal couples have an albino child?
An albino child can only be born of two people with the same gene disorder, to have an albino child you would have to find a person with those genes. Only some people have the ability to make an albino child.That is why they are so rare.
