What is the difference between homozygous recessive and homozygous?
Albinism is an autosomal (not sex-linked) recessive trait. A man and woman are both of normal pigmentation and have one child
out of three who is albino (without melanin pigmentation). What are the genotypes of the albino's parents?
One parent must be homozygous for the recessive allele; the other parent can be homozygous dominant, homozygous
recessive, or heterozygous.
Both parents must be homozygous dominant.
One parent must be heterozygous; the other parent can be homozygous dominant, homozygous recessive, or heterozygous.
Both parents must be heterozygous.
One parent must be homozygous dominant; the other parent must be heterozygous.

- Albinism is an autosomal (not sex-linked) recessive trait. A man and woman are both of normal pigmentation and have one child out of three who is albino (without melanin pigmentation). What are the genotypes of the albino's parents? Both parents must be homozygous dominant. Both parents must be heterozygous. One parent must be homozygous dominant; the other parent must be heterozygous. One parent must be heterozygous; the other parent can be homozygous dominant, homozygous recessive, or heterozygous.
