Answer

a. $\frac{1}{4}=25\%$ b. $0.25N^2+0.50Na+0.25a^2$ c. The probability of Albino is $0.25=25\%$

Work Step by Step

a. From the Punnet square we can see that $\frac{1}{4}=25\%$ of gene combinations result in albino coloring b. $(0.5N+0.5a)^2=0.5^2(N+a)^2$ $=0.25(N^2+2Na+a^2)$ $=0.25N^2+0.50Na+0.25a^2$ c. The coefficient of albino in the polynomial is $0.25$, which confirms our answer in part (a).
