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%.
In this scenario, the mother is heterozygous for normal skin pigmentation (Aa) and the father is homozygous recessive for albinism (aa). The possible genotypes for their child are Aa (normal pigmentation) and aa (albino). Using a Punnett square, there is a 50% probability that the child will be albino (aa).
Albino individuals have a genetic condition that results in a lack of melanin, which affects their skin, hair, and eyes. However, if they carry normal pigmentation genes (recessive traits) alongside the genes for albinism, their children can inherit the normal pigmentation from one or both parents. Thus, an albino parent can give birth to a non-albino (or "black") baby if the other parent contributes genes for normal pigmentation. This genetic variation is a result of the combination of alleles from both parents.

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.
Both parents would each have one dominant gene for normal pigmintation and each would have one recessive albino gene. Say P is the dominant gene and q is the albino gene. Then the parents genotype would both be Pq. Below is a Punnet Square. The child's genotype is qq P q ------------------------------------- P / PP / Pq (carrier) / / / / ///////////////////////////////////////// q / Pq (carrier) / qq (albino) / / / / ////////////////////////////////////////
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.
Albinism is not a dominant trait; it is a recessive genetic condition caused by mutations in genes responsible for melanin production. Both parents can be carriers of the recessive allele for albinism, meaning they have normal pigmentation but can pass the allele to their child, resulting in the child having albinism.
An albino child can only be born of two people with the same gene disorder, to have an albino child you would have to find a person with those genes. Only some people have the ability to make an albino child.That is why they are so rare.
