Summary of Albinism
Inherited disorder
Too little, or complete lack of, melanin
Shows very pale, white skin and hair.
Causes eyes to appear pink as well as
creates eye problems.
Can occur in humans, animals, or
plants.
• Three different types of albinism:
OCA-1, OCA-2, and OCA-3
• OCA-1: occurs on chromosome 11
•OCA-2: occurs on chromosome 15
•OCA-3: occurs on chromosome 9
Mode of Inheritance
The three types of albinism are acquired through the
chromosomes.
It is an autosomal recessive disorder.
Autosomal recessive means that in order to show the
disease you must have two of the recessive alleles. Two
copies of the gene must be mutated.
There is a higher chance of a male showing albinism
•Each person has two alleles per gene
•One comes from the mother, the other from the father
•Dominant and recessive alleles are represented by
letters.
• Dominant- capital letter
•Recessive- lowercase letter
•Dominance is when the allele is able to take over
recessive alleles.
•Recessiveness is when the allele can be taken over by a
dominant allele.
•Punnett squares represent a particular cross of the parent’s genes to predict the
reproduced outcome.
•Female is on the left and father is represented on the top.

•What these letter mean! AA? Aa? aa?
If A represents the normal healthy allele and a represents the recessive albino allele,
then we can assume that:

-Ratios- 2 shows: 2 doesn’t show
- Percentages- 50% shows : 50% doesn’t show
•Genotype
- Ratios- 2 Aa: 2 aa
- Percentages- 50% carries, but doesn’t show: 50% carries and shows = 100%

Autosomal Dominant
Circle = female
Square = male
All White= homozygous recessive gene, person
is fine, has 2 copies of the “healthy” gene
All Green= homozygous dominant, person
have disorder and 2 copies of the “bad” gene
Half Green/Half White= because this is a
dominant disorder (rules of dominance), the
person has the disease and only has one copy of
the “bad” gene and one copy of the “healthy”
gene.
Autosomal Recessive
White= Person is fine. May possibly
carry the recessive “bad gene.” Can
have one “health” and one “bad” gene
of two “healthy genes.”
Black= Person is affected. Has 2
“bad” genes.
Color gene is “bad” on x chromosome
Color gene is “healthy” on x chromosome
Color gene is “healthy” on x chromosome
One gene is “bad”, one gene is
“healthy” on the x chromosome
Female is fine.
3 generations, (I: two parents II: 3 children and two spouses III: 4 children, any combo
( explain how to READ your punnett square)
Student Practice
(you provide generation I, 2, and 3)
Show a pedigree like this, but you fill in the rest using a different sample than the previous page.
You choose male and female, who is married to who (you have to add 2 spouses, and who has children in the
Generation III.

Example:
***Ask 3 questions (type them on this page)
to make sure the students can analyze a
pedigree. (NO yes/no answers)
