There are several different types of albinism that affect several different genes. If two people with the same type of albinism reproduce, all of their children will have albinism. If two people with two different types of albinism have children, NONE of their children will have albinism. The genetics are complicated, but that's how it works.
The chance that their next child will have normal pigmentation is 75%. Albinism is usually caused by a recessive gene, so both parents would need to carry the gene in order to have an albino child. If both parents have normal pigmentation, then the chance of passing on the albino gene to their next child is 25%.

Dominance and Segregation
yes. i am an albino and bothm my parents are normal
Pink or white budgies are classified as albino, which is a lack of normal pigmentation. Otherwise, budgies are generally blue or green.
The offspring being albino can be explained by the principle of dominance and recessiveness. In this case, the albino trait is recessive, so it only shows up when an individual inherits two copies of the albino allele. Since both parents are heterozygous, they carry one normal allele and one albino allele, resulting in a 25% chance of producing an albino offspring.
For the albino allele to be more frequent in a population, there needs to be a higher rate of genetic drift or a selective advantage associated with the albino phenotype. Additionally, reduced fitness of individuals with the normal pigmentation allele could also contribute to the increased frequency of the albino allele.
Normal parents just might have albino children. This is a hereditary condition. If the condition is known to have happened in your family, then the chances are present. Some times genes from a "genepool" several generations old become activated and can cause this. It is however a very rare condition.
I don't think its normal for people to be albino my friend is really white like albino and she can't be in the sun because it stings her Lila
Albinism is a genetic condition caused by inheriting recessive genes from both parents. Both parents must carry the recessive albinism gene in order to pass it on to their child. This means that even if both parents appear normal, they can still carry the recessive gene and have a chance of having a child with albinism.
The parents of an albino plant are likely to be heterozygous for the gene controlling albinism. This means they carry one normal allele and one albino allele. When these two alleles combine in the offspring, it results in the expression of the albino trait.
An achromacyte is a cell which lacks its normal pigmentation.
