Answer: Aa is normal, and aa is Albinism.

1. 3 children

2. all female (circles are F, squares are M)

3. 1 grandchild

4. male

5. The child of that couple ended up having Albinism, which would only be possible if the wife was a carrier for the trait and passed it on.

6. I think there's three but it looks cut off, so...hope that's correct XD

7. two

Now for filling in the blanks:

Pedigree 1 -

Black square - X^aY ; Wife - X^AX^a

Children (left to right) - X^AX^A OR X^AX^a for the first two, and X^aX^a for the last daughter (black circle)

Pedigree 2 -

White square - X^AY ; Wife - X^aX^a

2nd generation (left to right) - X^aX^a, X^AY, (X^AY -> wife is X^AX^a)

Grandchild - X^aY

Pedigree 3 -

White square - X^AY ; Wife - X^AX^a

2nd generation (left to right) - X^aX^a, (X^AY -> wife is X^AX^A or X^AX^a)

I can't see the rest of the pedigree, but hopefully this helps.

Some notes: when both parents are normal and a male child ends up having the recessive trait, this means that the wife must be a carrier.

When the father has the trait and the mother doesn't and a daughter has the trait, the mother is a carrier as well.
