How might predict whether one of the siblings will have children that show the trait of albinism?

Sagot :

Answer: — Girls with albinism usually have OCA not OA and should be tested for the OCA genes. Boys can have OA or OCA. Sometimes doctors cannot tell if a child's hair and skin is affected by albinism just by looking at a child. Genetic testing may be able to tell which type of albinism your child has.

Explanation:

Albinism is usually passed either from one unaffected parent (OA) to a child or from both unaffected parents (OCA) to a child. A parent who is not affected with albinism but has the gene mutation that causes it is called a "carrier".
