Principles of Inheritance and Variation

Solution:

Parents are heterozygous normal otherwise $II-2$ could not be albino. Now cross between $2$-heterozygous (Aa) produces $AA (1) : Aa (2) : aa (1)$. Since $II-1$ is normal, the chances of a heterozygous (normal) child will be 2 out of three, i.e., 2/3.
