(a) Both parents must be heterozygous (a carrier) in order to have an offspring with albinism.

(b) With parents of genotype Aa × Aa, the genotypes possible for offspring not displaying the traits of albinism are AA, Aa, and aA. Two of these three are carriers, so there is a   (66%) chance that a child who does not display albinism is a carrier.
