उत्तर
25%
Explanation:
Since albinism is an autosomal recessive trait, the parents must both be heterozygous carriers (e.g., Aa) to have a child who is albino (aa). The cross between two carriers (Aa × Aa) yields a 25% chance of an albino offspring (aa), as the inheritance of each child is an independent event.
