75%

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the gametes

The female (Aa) can produce gametes A and a. The male (aa) can only produce gamete a.

Step2: Create a Punnett square

Aa

Step3: Calculate the probability

From the Punnett square, there are 2 possible genotypes (Aa and aa). The genotype for albino is aa. So the probability of aa is $\frac{1}{2}= 50\%$.

Answer:

50%
