Correct option is (c) 2
Since the allele is recessive, both homologous chromosomes in a somatic cell of an albino person would have the allele. After meiosis-I, each end would have a homologous chromosome with the allele. As the chromosome is existing as a each chromosome and hence each end would have two copies of the allele.
